ARC

NEACAC's ARC will be August 10-11, 2026 at the Four Points by Sheraton Norwood in Norwood, MA. 

ARC seeks to bring admissions professionals, school counselors, and college counselors together as a cohort to learn about existing programs and services that can be used to break down barriers and better guide our most vulnerable populations of students to access postsecondary education. 

We will center traditionally marginalized identities and students with more barriers to accessing higher education in order to strengthen our greater community. As a cohort we will work collaboratively to enhance resources for participants and create our own network of colleagues for our mutual support.

In a call for unity and community, ARC is an opportunity to lead by example while fostering a shared and creative space to “do the work.”
