WHO WE ARE:

Dallas/Fort Worth Admissions Regional Network (DARN) is a community of regionally based admissions
professionals living in Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) representing non-profit academic institutions.

Our Mission

 

DARN supports its individual members both professionally and personally through the promotion of professional development, higher education, and community relations.


Objectives

Professional Development – Collaborate for conference proposals and presentations, provide leadership opportunities and event planning experience, and encourage participation in professional organizations related to our work. 
Higher Education – Educate and prepare high school students in learning about higher education and finding the “Right Fit” institution for life after high school or community college. 
Community Relations – Build relationships with high school counselors, students and families, and community based organizations in DFW through attending events already scheduled and working to implement new programs expanding the visibility of our individual institutions. Host a counselor advisory board to gain insight and ideas.

DARN serves the community in several ways:

STATEMENT OF INCLUSIVITY:

DARN is dedicated and will continue to remain committed to expanding access and educational opportunities to communities from all backgrounds in North Texas. We acknowledge that pathways to higher education have manifested themselves differently according to various factors, and our aim is to ensure that every student receives the proper resources to thrive.

 

Our work is centered around the ideology that students deserve an avenue to higher education regardless of race, class, religion, gender, political affiliation, or socioeconomic status, and we seek to provide effective programming and collaborate with organizations that share our beliefs in assisting students and their advocates find their best fit universities.

 

We are steadfast in advocating for students and operate with the intent to cultivate a welcoming environment that promotes educational advancement. In order to hold ourselves accountable, we commit to the ongoing evaluation of our policies, practices, and programs to assess our progress in fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion.
