Western Association for College Admission Counseling

Annual conference:the largest event wacac hosts for our members is our annual conference, held each spring. The conference helps our members unwind, rejuvenate and reconnect and makes the most of professional development opportunities during the three-day event. We have extensive pre-conference workshops.

Membership:the membership committee seeks committee members who have benefited from many years of wacac membership and are able to share with colleagues as wacac ambassadors. Committee members help by networking and promoting wacac to expand membership. Committee members and volunteers help with wacac tables at various professional development events like our share, learn and connect series, our cafecito program for spanish language students and their families and our Admission summer institute. We especially seek to increase access to membership for public high school counselors, non-profit organizations, and community College transfer counselors. A sampling of committee projects includes: - calling and emailing targeted potential members - helping to organize membership professional development seminars - staffing summer institute and other conferences

College fairs:a free program to the public since 1972, the College fairs allow students to interact with Admission representatives from a wide range of postsecondary institutions to discuss course offerings, Admission and financial aid requirements, College life, and other information pertinent to the College selection process. College fairs take place in northern California, southern California and Nevada.
