WHAT’S NEW THIS SPRING AT PCACAC?

Preparing Our Students for the 21st Century In a world where new jobs and ca-reer paths are created every day, what do college admissions profes-sionals need to know to guide our students college going decisions? Four guests panelists from secon-dary and post-secondary institu-tions will discuss this hot topic at the Plenary Session on Monday.

IN 500 WORDS OR LESS…  You have a front row for a screening of In 500 Words or Less as four students and their families navigate the college admissions process. This double-blocked session on Monday includes a screening of the film to be followed by Q&A and discus-sion.

BOOK CLUB SESSION: Three Cups of Tea Greg Mortenson’s quest to build schools in the most re-mote villages of Pakistan and Afghanistan is proof that one ordinary person, with the right combination of character and determination, really can change the face of education.

Trinity Washington University’s President Patricia McGuire, who has led Trinity’s transformation from a small college to a highly diverse, vibrant, multifaceted university, has accepted our invitation to be the Keynote Speaker for the 45th Annual PCACAC Spring Conference. President McGuire will join us as our luncheon speaker on Monday, April 26th to share with us the dynamic energy of the Trinity community.

PCACAC and DSCA (Delaware School Counselors Association) will co-sponsor a pre-conference event for the greater Dover community on Sunday April 25th from 1:00 to 3:00 PM at the Dover Downs Ho-tel. Members of these two great organizations combine resources for this service project and will present a college admissions program for students and parents including sessions on financial aid college readiness.

As PCACAC ramps up to the Fiftieth Anniversary Conference in 2015 , the Past-President’s Commit-tee has tasked Dal Holmes and his committee to launch an official oral history of PCACAC, begin-ning with recorded audio and video interviews of a number of senior members of our organiza-tion.
