Special Interest Groups (SIGs)

Chair: Shawn Ficadenti, James Madison University (VA)
Vice Chair: Melissa Ward, St. Mary's High School (MD)

Special Interest Groups bring colleagues together to explore a topic or population in higher education / K-12 through discussion, networking and resource sharing. PCACAC has served as a leading affiliate in many ways, including launching our very own SIGs in 2018. Since then, we have grown from three to ten SIGs.

Join the Rural/Small Town and Community College & Transfer Student SIGs virtually on June 5 at 10:30 am for an engaging and insightful conversation! We’ll dive into important topics like transferring credits, navigating AP vs. dual enrollment, and exploring meaningful ways to support high school and transfer students in rural and small-town communities. Come share your perspective, learn from others, and be part of a collaborative discussion that makes a difference!
