Submit Your Nomination for PCACAC's Blackburn Award

The PCACAC Past Presidents Committee invites you to SUBMIT YOUR NOMINATION for a deserving candidate for the John A. "Jack" Blackburn Award for Ethics in College Admission.  This award will be presented during PCACAC's 53rd Annual ConferenceApril 15-17, 2018 at the Dover Downs Hotel and Casino in Dover, DE.   Nominations close on December 15, 2017 and will be reviewed by the Past Presidents Committee after that date.  You will be notified prior to the conference if your candidate is selected.

The Blackburn Award was established by the Potomac and Chesapeake Association for College Admission Counseling (PCACAC) in 2010 to honor the late Jack Blackburn, long-time Dean of Admission at the University of Virginia. Throughout his career, Jack served as an admirable role model promoting the highest ethical standards, integrity in our profession and equity in access to higher education. This award recognizes a member of our profession who exemplifies the qualities that made Jack Blackburn revered by his peers.

Criteria used for selection are: 
  • Commitment to the high ethical standards of college admission through sustained active involvement in the profession;
  • Dedication to promoting equal access to higher education for all students.
Membership in PCACAC is not a criterion for selection but consideration will be given to professionals in the PCACAC region. PCACAC membership must be current to nominate a candidate.  RENEW your membership or JOIN PCACAC now!
If you would like to sponsor this award or another program at our 53rd Annual Conference, please look for the announcement coming soon regarding the opening of our Conference Sponsorship and Contribution Form.
