Abstract	By and large the United States is not even close to having equitable representation among people of color and women in higher ed--both as students and as institutional leaders. Regarding the status of women, great strides have undoubtedly been made in the educational field; however, they continue to significantly trail men with regard to career advancement opportunities. Even more concerning, among women of color, the number is proportionally lower. Whether it is in outreach or review committees, admission representatives who come from diverse experiences play an impactful role in whether a student from an underrepresented background will even consider applying to their institution. Admission offices can create a more equitable opportunity for all students by having diverse admission teams and review committees, and by creating a sense of belonging. (ERIC).
