Access, Opportunity, & Impact
The Access, Opportunity, & Impact Committee (IMPACT for short) is responsible for assessing the needs of underserved students and the educational professionals who guide them in and through the college process. IMPACT strives to heighten awareness, consciousness, and sensitivity to the issues that disrupt students' pathways to secondary and post-secondary access. The committee's success will be demonstrated by:
- Developing and implementing educational programs for all professionals working with students
- Making quality college enrollment advising and information available to all students
- Recognizing students who overcome significant obstacles to meet their post-secondary education goals
- Ensuring that new and middle-level professionals who support underserved students are provided professional growth and development opportunities needed to advance in the profession
- Ensuring that we remain abreast of the changing US demographics and the implications for the students we all serve
- Establishing and maintaining intentional opportunities needed to advance those in our profession who serve historically underrepresented students
Events and Programs:
- Safe Spaces Project - provides our membership with an opportunity to share community through a specific theme each month. Questions will guide the conversation, but this will also be a time for members to share and reflect in a confidential setting.
- Special Interest Groups are designed to enrich TACAC members’ experiences by providing smaller communities in which members can network and interact among others with similar interests.
