Free and open to the public, National College Fairs allow students to interact with
admission representatives from a wide range of postsecondary institutions.
ABOUT NACACThe National Association for
College Admission Counseling (NACAC), founded in 1937, is an organization of more than 15,000 professionals from around the world dedicated to serving students as they make choices about pursuing postsecondary education.
NACAC is committed to maintaining high standards that foster ethical and social responsibility among those involved in the transition process, as outlined in the NACAC Statement of Principles of Good Practice (SPGP).
A member-directed organization,
NACAC is governed by its voting members; an Assembly of delegates elected by voting members in NACAC’s state and regional affiliates and by an elected Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors sets the strategic direction for NACAC. Additionally, 10 standing committees, ad hoc committees, and an Affiliate Presidents Council lend their expertise and experience to the issues, programs and governance that keep
the association vibrant in its service to members, the profession, and students.
NACAC’s award-winning publications and other media
resources, professional development programs and practical research efforts have all been designed to give counseling and admission professionals the tools they need to improve the counseling services they provide to students.
