New York State Association for College Admission Counseling
You’ve reached the web site of the NYSACAC. If you’re a post-secondary educational counselor in New York State, this is your online resource center.
You can learn more about the NYSACAC, study the legislative issues affecting our profession, take a look at our annual events calendar, read our Board meeting minutes, meet NYSACAC officers and committees, sign up as a new member, and explore some related links.
We now offer a special section only for our members. In that section, you can find contact information on any one of our members, view and print the NY state college fair directory and use the new reference library which has many helpful resources.

Our New Site
I hope everyone is enjoying a healthy and happy New Year! As we transition into 2008, I wanted to update you on some new things on the horizon.
You probably noticed extensive developments on our Web site! Our Web site is now live. Our member’s only section allows you to renew your membership and update your information. You can also access a vast array of information in this section. If you have any questions regarding our Web site, please contact us at nysacac@nysacac.org.
Coming this spring are several Professional Development Forums. This year’s series will focus on the ways in which high school and college counselors can and do work together to assist students in the college search and selection process. While specific workshops will vary from site to site, topics will include ethical dilemmas, mental health issues, communication throughout the process, and best practices in school counseling and college admission.
Thanks to the generosity of the colleges that serve as host sites for the forums, there is no charge to attend. We have eight different dates and locations to choose from! Please access the link below for more information and to register!
Professional Development Forums
After our forum series comes to an end, we are looking forward to the 2008 Annual Conference at Manhattanville College in Purchase, New York, June 3rd through June 6th. Additional conference details will be released shortly. For more information and sign up forms for Exhibitors and Sponsors, go to:
Membership in our national organization, NACAC, in addition to membership in NYSACAC, presents even more opportunities for you, your students, and your institution. Please contact me at president@nysacac.org, if you have questions or if I can be of further assistance.
