2007-2008 Summer Institute Committee


Committee Job Description

Members of the Summer Institute Committee will assist in planning, developing, and implementing IACAC’s annual Summer Institute for new college admission counselors. The four day institute is typically held in mid-late July and hosted by an IACAC member college or university. Committee members are expected to attend planning meetings throughout the year and take part in the full four day event.

In the months leading up the event, members will contact and confirm speakers, provide input regarding the week’s activities, and encourage/recruit new counselors to attend the program. During the event committee members will moderate sessions, lead small group discussions on various admission practices, and act as mentors for all new participants.

 

Committee Mission Statement

It is the mission of the Summer Institute Committee along with the help of IACAC and its members, to collectively engage and create a program which will educate and mentor new counselors to the admissions profession and the IACAC organization. Summer Institute will offer professional development and networking opportunities which are applicable to current recruiting trends and will aid in their transition as professionals.
