NACAC is hosting 4 virtual college fairs for students in Fall 2020. Registration and information is available here.
They are also providing helpful videos from the virtual fair to provide information from NACAC members to counselors seeking advice about guiding students during these uncertain times. There are six videos in total, but these three are especially helpful, and we ask that you share them with your counselors. They can be accessed at here. Here are the suggested videos:
