About the Program:
NACAC’s Guiding the Way to Inclusion (GWI) focuses on key issues facing admission offices, including increasing enrollment for students of color, first-generation and undocumented students. This program provides an in-depth understanding of the college admission profession and offers invaluable insight on changes in the profession in the current economic atmosphere, career advancement and tools to improve equity and access for all students at your institution. College admission officers new to the field and those with up to five years of experience are encouraged to attend to discover:
- Facts about multicultural students of the millennium and where they come from
- Tips and strategies for recruiting bi-racial and multicultural applicants who may not identify with the multicultural community after admittance
- The affects of standardized admission tests and score differences on students of color
- Changes/updates affecting financial aid awards, as well as tips on assisting families as they navigate the financial aid process
- Legislative implications of the Dream Act on the recruitment and retention of undocumented students seeking admission
Program information and registration will be available online in mid-March.
