Coming Together Conference
Niagara University, Niagara, New York
June 1-2, 2010
The New York State Association for College Admission Counseling’s Annual Conference will be held June 1-4, 2010 at Niagara University in Niagara Falls, New York. Coming Together takes place the first two days of the annual conference and focuses specifically on the issues of diversity, equity and access in higher education.
The NYSACAC Human Relations Committee organizes the Coming Together Conference. The committee’s role is to be a catalyst, heightening awareness and sensitivity to the issues of culture, human rights, gender, age and other differences, and infusing the following values: diversity, equity and access. The Coming Together Conference is integrated with the NYSACAC Annual Conference and gives professionals an intimate forum to talk about some serious, yet sensitive issues. The Coming Together Conference is open to all professionals working with a diverse student body – particularly those from underserved and underrepresented populations.
