Fall Update from the President

Fall 2021 has proven itself to be quite the busy season! We all have a rather hectic combination of virtual and in person meetings but we are getting through it. I have a few quick updates for you all: Seattle NACAC – Recap For those of us who were able to attend NACAC in person, we had a wonderful time at our membership gathering! It was so wonderful to see everyone in person! To those who were unable to attend, you were sincerely missed. We hope to have other local social gatherings in the future to accommodate more of our membership.

Above, our in-person delegates were caught by NACAC paparazzi! All of our delegates were able to participate in an important discussion surrounding the future of the relationship between NACAC and the Regional Affiliates (which of course includes NJACAC). While minimal progress was made and we don’t have concrete updates to share with you now, I do want to reiterate that many strong ideas were shared and I am confident that we are moving in the right direction. It doesn’t hurt that we have two Past Presidents on the Ad-Hoc committee either (shout out to Carlos Cano & Laurie Sieminski!) |

The Crystal Ball World of College Admissions Our annual Fall Kickoff event made a triumphant return to in-person! A big thank you to our Professional Development Chairs and key Committee Members Marianna Marchese, Fran Swift, Ryan DePuy, and Rich Freccia for their coordination along with Seton Hall University. Rich moderated a Rock-Star panel of Admissions folk in which they discussed the impact Covid will have on future admissions cycles. This is an ever evolving conversation we hope to continue at future PD events!
