PACAC Special Interest Groups (SIGs) Overview
PACAC Special Interest Groups (SIGs) provide members with an opportunity to connect with colleagues who share similar professional interests. SIGs create smaller communities within PACAC where members can exchange ideas, explore emerging topics, and share best practices related to college admission and school counseling.
SIGs are designed to encourage collaboration, networking, and professional growth across the PACAC membership. These groups may focus on specific populations of students, personal identities, professional roles, institutional types, emerging issues, or innovative practices within the field. SIGs are meant to be flexible, creative spaces where members can engage in thoughtful discussion and collaborative learning.
Through discussion, resource sharing, and collaborative initiatives, SIG members contribute to the broader PACAC community by helping surface new ideas and strengthen the profession.
