Dear CAC family,
Welcome to our Adviser Forum East in New York City! We are thrilled to have you here in the Big Apple and are grateful to our host chapter, the awesome NYU Corps!
Our theme this year goes to the heart of CAC’s mission -- Advancing Opportunity. The goal over the next few days is to recommit ourselves to advancing opportunity in various ways. We hope you will discover best practices from your peers, engage with the research, reflect on your journey and what may lie ahead by interacting with the alumni panel and industry workshops, and be inspired by our guest speakers whose stories capture in powerful ways the journey to advancing opportunity.
On behalf of our national team and Board of Directors, we are grateful for the work that each of you — 716 advisers serving 210,000 students in 16 states across the country — do every day. We continue to build a national movement at a critical time in our nation’s history. Let us commit to ensuring every student hears those four key words, “I believe in you” and, together, we advance opportunity.
It is an honor to serve with you!
Yours, Nicole Hurd Founder and CEO College Advising Corps
Incoming advisers face steep learning curves to understand their schools and communities as well as the local, state, & national education landscapes. With turnover every two years, knowledge sharing is a significant problem both within and between corps. The solution? A college resources website. Bring your computers for this interactive session, in which the eAdvising Curriculum & eResources committee will unveil its College Resources website, which houses college-application resources for advisers & students. The College Resources website houses three types of resources that we want to share with our in-school advisers:
-- College Search Resources -- Application Resources -- State-Specific Resources
In this three-part presentation, we will present our application resources for in-school advisers who are creating their own student-facing materials, demo how in-school advisers can use our college search tools with their students, and get your feedback on the specific resources we have gathered for the fourteen states in which CAC advisers work. Please join us!
