As members of NYSACAC, we find ourselves navigating seemingly unprecedented times. In light of the dynamic nature of changes across our state and nation due to coronavirus (COVID-19) and its impacts on our students, we are sharing a resource page with useful updates and links. We hope this will serve as a helpful tool as we work together through this ‘new normal’. We will continue to post additional items as they become available. Resource links are not meant as endorsements of any one particular entity, but as resources for the many. 

Our priority is the health and safety of our NYSACAC members. Our thoughts and well wishes are with colleagues, friends, family members, and students.

As our state motto articulates – Excelsior (ever upward). Together, we will do just that.
