Proud to see NJACAC represented on the national stage 🇺🇸

This week, National Association for College Admission Counseling members gathered in Washington, D.C. for National Advocacy Day 2026—engaging in important policy conversations, preparing for impactful meetings, and ultimately bringing their voices directly to Capitol Hill.

A special shoutout to Seth Carver and Rachel Papa for representing New Jersey Association for College Admission Counseling and advocating for policies that support students, strengthen the college admission counseling profession, and expand access to higher education.

Moments like these remind us of the power of our profession—and the impact we can make when we show up and speak out. 💙
