ReMEMBERing who's important...
As a volunteer organization, we value our members and want to thank each and every one of you for all that you do! Here is some special news we'd like to share about two of our members:
- Our hearts go out to Tom Pollard's wife, family, friends and colleagues. Tom Pollard was longtime Dean of Admissions at the University of Richmond and a recognized leader and innovator in our profession. He served as president of PCACAC from 1974-1975 and received the Association’s 1979 Richard Apperson Award. Tom's obituary was posted in the Richmond Times-Dispatch on November 2, 2018.
- Read about member Alice Robertson in the MEMBER SPOTLIGHT! Alice is currently School Counselor at Chantilly High School (VA) and PCACAC's Interim Professional Development Chair.

YOU are why we do what we do!
Happy early November! I hope your fall travel or frantic rec-writing for early deadlines is finished.
I am writing you a quick note asking for your support. Please consider giving to PCACAC's General Fund on Giving Tuesday, November 27? Your donation does not have to be big; but, it will help us continue to offer our members incredible opportunities. Why is this important? Let me provide you three reasons you should donate:
- NACAC is reducing the Public School Grant. Traditionally, we have used this money to help public school counselors attend Summer Institute. This year, we will need to use some of our General Fund if we want to continue this initiative.
- Our General Fund has helped PCACAC send an increasing number of delegates to Richmond, Annapolis and Washington, DC to advocate for better counselor to student ratios, college counseling education for counselors, school safety and much more. In this case, the General Fund has allowed us to go beyond our initial budget.
- Have an idea for a new program, event or undertaking? Our General Fund has helped support many new initiatives: a case study program, public school training days, partnered advocacy with VA school counselors, a re-energized college fair at the spring conference, an inclusivity pre-conference program, counselor support grants, and much more! Many of these initiatives began with little to no budget and the General Fund made them possible.
LEARN MORE about how you can give and manage your donations through the Givi app on Giving Tuesday (or any day).
You can also help support the admissions community when you shop on Amazon Smile by designating PCACAC as your charitable organization.
With sincere thanks!
John (Jake) E. Talmage
PCACAC President
