A Message from President Lauren Sangimino

Welcome to the official website of the New York State Association for College Admission Counseling (NYSACAC)!

As President of this dynamic organization, I am honored to lead a community of approximately 2000 members committed to supporting students as they navigate and achieve post-secondary success.  With rapid changes happening each year, NYSACAC is here to serve as your resource and network. 

Our Regional Representatives are here to advocate for you and serve as a resource in your area of the state.  These positions are elected by the membership and designed to connect a geographically vast state. If you have a question, idea, or just want to meet your representative, we encourage you to connect with them directly.    

I invite you to explore our site to learn more about our professional development programs, webinars, college fairs, legislative advocacy opportunities, and the 2026 Coming Together and Annual Conference hosted at Nazareth University, June 2-5.  

For those who would like to feel more connected in the profession, I encourage you to volunteer.  Members of the Executive Board and committee co-chairs welcome the opportunity to share their experiences to help you find ways to connect. Please visit our committee websiteto learn more.

If you’re not yet a member, I encourage you to join and engage with our vibrant network of professionals across the state ranging from community colleges, public universities, private colleges, public high schools, independent high schools, community-based organizations, independent counselors, corporate/vendor members, and retirees.

Thank you for the work you do each and every day to support and empower students. NYSACAC is stronger because of you—and together, we can continue to lead with purpose and impact through advocacy, mentorship, and outreach.

With appreciation,
Lauren Sangimino
President, New York State Association for College Admission Counseling (NYSACAC)
