GPACAC is proud to announce that we will soon begin offering podcasts to enhance members' professional development resources. Podcasts will be presented by fellow GPACAC members who are experts on topics such as College Essay Writing, Financial Aid, Undocumented Students, and College Athletics. Beginning in January, a new podcast will be featured each month in our newsletter. The entire podcast collec- tion will be available on the GPACAC website– www.gpacac.net. To request a podcast topic or to volunteer as a pre- senter, please contact Stephanie Gardner, GPACAC Human Rela- tions Committee Chair, at [email protected]. NEW for NEW for NEW for 2012... 2012... 2012... As the fall travel season winds down and application deadlines are met, we have just a few short weeks before the holiday season arrives. It’s that time of year when many of us pause for just a moment and look back at the new relationships we’ve built over the last three months. The fall season connects us with new students as we also renew relationships with our former colleagues through college fairs and high school visits. As GPACAC starts a new membership year in January, I encourage each of you to share GPACAC with one new person you met this fall . Perhaps it’s the new high school counselor in your territory or the student you think might write the winning essay for our yearly scholarships. I would also like to invite each of you to attend our annual Conference to be held on April 15-17 2012, in Overland Park, KS. This year’s conference will be a joint event with MOACAC which will provide each of us with even more opportunities to improve our service to our students, network with colleagues and learn from each other. For those of you who don’t want to wait until April or may not be able to attend the conference, GPACAC is also offering some new opportunities. We have started a podcast series for high school counselors and also a mentorship pro- gram for GPACAC members of all levels of experience. Information on both of these can be found at www.gpacac.net or by contacting any member of the GPACAC board. My best wishes for a HAPPY Holiday season!
