Zoom-In Workshops 

To support school-based and CBO counselors as they prepare students for post-secondary studies, TACAC is rebranding Drive-In Workshops as Zoom-Ins for the 2023-2024 school year! No more worries about traffic or tight schedules, just hop on your computer and listen in. You'll gain information from seasoned professionals in order to better assist students with selecting a college, navigating the application process, and more! We plan to host four Zoom-Ins throughout the year, each with a topic pertinent to the time of year and/or the current landscape of college admissions. 

Upcoming Workshops:

February 7
9-10 AM
Helping Students Plan a Meaningful Summer: Hear from high school counselors about ways to work with students to plan engaging, meaningful summers.
