Abstract	The admission process for many postsecondary institutions was not fundamentally designed to promote equity. It was especially not designed to put students' needs at the center of the process, let alone to give them decision-making power in institutional policies and practices. However, the year 2020--punctuated by a racial reckoning and global pandemic--presented the industry with the opportunity to radically reorganize its values and structure. This flashpoint served as the impetus for the creation of the joint National Association for College Admission Counseling/National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (NACAC/NASFAA) publication "Toward a More Equitable Future for Postsecondary Access" (ED618930) in 2022. The report includes multiple recommendations on how colleges and universities can restructure their core policies, systems, and structures to be more equitable for historically underrepresented populations. One of the recommendations for institutions was to ensure that student voices were centered in decision-making processes. To operationalize this recommendation, NACAC created the Centering Students in the Creation of Equitable Admission Practices ad hoc committee. The committee, which included both professional and student members, was charged with creating a model for student engagement and a framework to assist institutions and NACAC in identifying opportunities for student engagement in service to equity in admission policy and practice which is included in this report. [Dax-Dev and the American Youth Policy Forum partnered with NACAC on this project.] (ERIC).
