Counselor Resources
Dear Counselor,
Help get the word out about the Fall 2026 season of NACAC College Fairs! Here are some helpful tools you can use:
Social Media Graphics
Below are links to image files to help counselors post about NACAC College fairs. Each city is represented by three graphics:
- 600 x 300 (ideal for small images)
- 1200 x 1200 (ideal for Instagram / X / Twitter)
- 1600 x 900 (ideal for Facebook)
Each zip file contains all three images for each city.
Help Students Make the Most of Every College Fair
The Smart Fair Attendee Mobile App gives students a more organized, confident way to prepare for and follow up after a college fair. Students can explore participating colleges, find personalized matches, build a Fair Plan, prepare questions, save notes, navigate the event, and share a post-fair activity report with counselors, families, or other trusted supporters.
Encourage your students to start with the app before their next fair.
