The ACCESS Forum: Connecting Policy, Practice, and People
Advancing College Counseling, Education, and Student Success
Coming March 2027 | Washington, D.C.
The higher education and policy landscape continues to evolve, creating new challenges and opportunities for the professionals working every day to support students on their path to postsecondary education. Meeting this moment requires us to understand not only what is changing, but what those changes mean for our students, our institutions, and our profession.
Coming in March 2027, The ACCESS Forum will bring NACAC members together in Washington, D.C. for a new multi-day experience connecting policy, practice, professional learning, and advocacy. Participants will gain timely insights into federal policies affecting college access and affordability, strengthen their leadership and advocacy skills, learn alongside colleagues from across the country, and engage directly with policymakers on Capitol Hill.
The ACCESS Forum represents the next evolution of NACAC’s advocacy programming — creating more opportunities for members to build their knowledge, develop as leaders, and use their voices to advance college access and opportunity.
