Online Admissions Resources for Both Sides of the Desk
PCACAC is happy to provide resource information concerning the college admission process to our members, their students and families, with the goal of being a trusted source of knowledge. Just as NACAC has developed the Knowledge Center, we hope to follow their lead in providing our members with a "toolbox” to help them improve as college admission professionals.
Please send any requests for adding resources to this site to our Communications Chair, Kellie Stewart. PCACAC will only post sites that serve as valuable resources for college admission and counseling professionals.
In response to recent events...
The leadership team of the Potomac & Chesapeake Association for College Admission Counseling writes today to acknowledge and express the outrage, despair, and grief we are feeling over the disturbing and horrific attacks on people and communities of color, highlighted by the most recent deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery.
The mission of PCACAC is to support and advance college admission professionals as they guide their institutions, students, and families in an ethical manner. During this divisive time in our country, we call on our leadership and membership to unify and support one another. We must speak out and stand up for our students, our colleagues, and for our families and institutions. Black lives matter.
As educators and admission professionals, we must continue to learn about these issues with every resource available to us. And we understand that a statement cannot resonate without action. Each of us will decide our own course of action, and we encourage you to do something today to further the cause of equity and justice.
