Summer Admission Institute

Annual Summer Institute on College Admission and School Relations

August 3 – 7, 2020
University of San Diego

In 2020 WACAC assumes the administration of College Board’s well established, signature event, the Summer Admission Institute. This year will mark the 40th Institute and a chance to celebrate the former attendees and faculty of the Institute.

New admission counselors will participate in a five-day Institute on College Admission and School Relations, as they set the foundation for a rewarding and lasting career in college admission.

This annual event is designed to help newly hired admission officers develop the skills necessary to build strong institutional partnerships and assist students in the transition to college. Enrollment professionals from a variety of institutions will serve as faculty to provide personalized instruction, while discussion-based workshops will give you an opportunity to make connections and network among peers.
