Abstract	The National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) commissioned this environmental scan of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices in college counseling and admission professions in concert with its other recent DEI-related research, training, and initiatives to address the urgent needs of today's students and institutions. Research and policy have explicitly established the benefits of DEI and its crucial importance for realizing ideal educational experiences and outcomes of students, and subsequently, their future prospects in the workforce and society. This environmental scan consisted of a literature review, DEI position scan, and focus groups with college counseling and admission professionals to: (1) assess the current landscape, status, and satisfaction of professionals with DEI in the field; (2) identify DEI practices specific or applicable to college counseling and admission; (3) identify DEI-related challenges and needs for furthering DEI practices and satisfaction, including representation and success of students; and (4) provide recommendations for additional DEI training, staffing, and other school and institutional practices beneficial to college counseling, admission, and student success. The collective findings gathered from relevant literature, a policy and practice scan, and focus groups with college counseling and admission professionals underscore the important role these staff play in increasing and supporting a diverse college student body. Efforts being taken to recruit and train college counseling and admission staff, as well as leadership, with an anti-racist lens should continue to be implemented, assessed, refined, and replicated.
