College Share is a collaborative event where GPACAC’s colleges and universities share the latest updates and information about their schools with GPACAC’s HS counselors, IEC’s, and CBO partners.  This virtual event is held annually in the early fall.

Approved in September 2020, NACAC's "Guide to Ethical Practice in Admission" reflects the association's long-standing commitment to conduct among professionals who support students in the college transition process from secondary school to post-secondary education or in the transfer process between post-secondary institutions. If you have questions about the GEPCA or ethical practice in admissions for our affiliate please contact GPACAC past-president, Jennifer McClendon.

Looking to build your college counseling program and find resources to help guide students? You've come to the right place!

GPACAC’s Mentorship Program brings together colleagues with varied levels of experience. By creating intentional 1:1 mentor/mentee pairings, affiliate members will form meaningful connections that contribute to the collaborative spirit of our profession, providing professional growth for participants. You will build relationships and mutually share talents, skills, and experiences that are valuable to our day-to-day work. 

GPACAC hosts High School Counselor Breakfasts each year to bring admission representatives and high school counselors together for an enriching professional development opportunity and a chance to learn all things new at participating colleges and universities. There are three area breakfasts to chose from, and we hope you can join us for one! Each event is free for counselors to attend, and you'll gain a wealth of information!

One-day, professional development opportunities for admissions professionals with less than five years of experience.
