Annual Conference
It's Official: PNACAC Can Do Virtually Anything!
Session recordings from the 2021 Virtual PNACAC Conference are now available on the conference site.
Attendees may now log in to view them by clicking the title of the session and then clicking the "Watch Recording" button.
Do note that some events (such as the Affinity Group meetings) were purposely not recorded to ensure they were safe spaces for open dialogue.
Thank you to the 330 members of PNACAC who participated in this year's first ever virtual conference! The planning committee intentionally wanted to focus on wellness, anti-racist practices, and how we support students in the college planning process moving forward from the events of this year. We hope you found the sessions and speakers to be authentic and honest while also motivating and inspiring. Most of all, we hope you found connection with colleagues you may have not seen in quite a while.
And, thank you to those who purchased an official conference t-shirt. We were able to raise just over $500 for PNACAC student scholarships!
See you this fall in Seattle/online for the NACAC Conference and next spring in Helena for the 2022 PNACAC Annual Conference!
