PCACAC Conference Highlights!

Dear Colleague,

We hope you are planning to join us for PCACAC's 52nd Annual Conference!  If you have already registered, please read on for some exciting news and opportunities at the conference! If you have not registered, there's important information included here as well.  We cannot wait to see everyone in Williamsburg, April 23-25th for the conference or as early as the Saturday, the 22nd for the pre-conference workshop.

See HIGHLIGHTS below for more information and what interests you.

Look for more highlights in emails in the next few weeks.

JOIN US EARLY - PCACAC Equity Collaborative Workshop

Beginning Saturday, April 22^nd at 1:30, PCACAC will begin an interactive preconference workshop for the discussion of diversity, equity, and inclusive practices in college admission and counseling. Counselors and college admission officers will come together to engage in conversations that build multicultural literacy and share best practices for advancing our profession, specifically focusing on issues that affect historically underserved and marginalized communities.

If you want to gain greater insight on social identity and learn how to apply this to more effective work with students and colleagues, then join us.  If you want to present yourself as an ally incorporating specific practices that are compassionate and supportive to students, parents, and colleagues, then join us early. We will take away the former objectives from the workshop and more. We would love to work and learn with you.

To register for the pre-conference PCACAC Equity Collaborative workshop, visit www.pcacac.org/conferences or follow this link to login and complete an online registration form (one form for both the pre-conference and conference registration).  Of course, members automatically receive a discount.  If you can attend the pre-conference workshop and the conference, then register for one low price.  Specifically, look for Additional Registration Fees on the form and check the item for the PCACEC Pre-Conference & Conference Package.               

STAY A LITTLE LATER - Golf Anyone?

Are you attending the PCACAC Conference in Williamsburg? Interested in playing golf? We are looking to organize a golf outing at a local course. We would start play around 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 25 and the cost (greens fees and cart) would be $60-80 per person depending on where we end up playing. To book tee times and plan the event, we need to get an idea of numbers. Please e-mail Jake Talmage at jtalmage@stpaulsschool.org if you are interested.
