Drive-In Workshops

Drive-In Workshops are designed with the busy college counseling/admission professional in mind.  These one-day workshops are held throughout our region.  Moderated by seasoned PCACAC professionals, the Drive-In consists of several sessions and discussion opportunities.  Past workshops have included such topics as communication, ethics in admission, a mock admission committee, current trend/future issues discussion, and plenty of opportunity to network with colleagues and moderators alike.  The sessions are cost effective (and sometimes free) and are an outreach tool for professionals in the area where presented.

Host a Drive-In Workshop

PCACAC is looking for sites throughout our region as we plan future workshops. We are currently seeking institutions that are interested in hosting a professional development day-long workshop targeting those who counsel high school students for college. Some of the organizational needs include:

• Meeting space and AV (if needed) provided for a group of approximately 50 attendees (that number can vary and may be limited according to the needs of the institution) for up to 4 sessions during the day. The institution would have the opportunity to do one 75-minute session (or whatever the institution would like…maybe an information session and a tour);
• Parking for attendees;
• A member of your staff designated as the primary point of contact throughout the planning process and available to provide support on the day of the event;
• A willingness to use the institution’s local school counselor email list to ensure notification of local counselors of the joint professional development venture between PCACAC and the host institution; and
• If possible, an institution that would be able to provide a light continental breakfast (coffee?) and lunch for the attendees.
