SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS (SIGs) |
What are Special Interest Groups?
Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are “micro” communities within our association that can network and add value to the INACAC experience. These smaller subsets of professionals are formed for the purpose of knowledge sharing and discussion among professionals with similar interests, such as affinities, issues, type of institution, or students they serve. SIGs enhance the growing diversity in our association by highlighting shared experiences, unique social issues, and learning opportunities within our profession. |

TRANSFER The Transfer Special Interest Group is designed to engage people in discussion about the unique issues facing transfer students. This is a special interest group for the discussion of issues that relate specifically to the students who transfer in or out of our institutions. DIRECTORS AND VICE PRESIDENTS Join Directors, VP’s and other high level professionals in monthly discussion regarding trends, hot topics, legislation, generational needs, staffing, recruitment, yield, comparisons, and so much more…definitely even personal counseling and connections to help you navigate this world within your position and institution! FIRST TIMERS / NEW COUNSELORS
This group will help you work through how to find your sweet spot as a new counselor (institution or high school), discussing the realities of being a newcomer to the field, and how to successfully navigate the sessions, socials, and introductions. This group is all about you in your career (not only your career), so everything will be centered around what you need, how things are going, and how we can support or assist. SIG Liaison(s): RURAL AND SMALL TOWN The purpose of the group is to bring together professionals who support rural education and share knowledge of rural assets, challenges, and issues with one another. SIG Liaison: Erika Cole (DePauw University) | MIDDLE MANAGEMENT Geared to Admissions and High School professionals in the 3 to 8 year career range, this special interest group focuses on personal and professional development, managing from the middle, advocating for yourself, making data informed vs data driven decisions, leading vs managing, and discussion on the future of enrollment management. LATINX The Latinx/Hispanic Special Interest Group represents the perspectives and concerns of those professionals who are responsible for the counseling, guidance, education, recruitment and transition (from high school to college) of Latinx/Hispanic students. BLACK AND AFRICAN AMERICAN The Black and African American Interest Group will support and advance the work of counseling and enrollment professionals as they help the students and the community realize their full potential, with particular emphasis on African American’s transition to postsecondary education. ASIAN AMERICAN AND PACIFIC ISLANDER This group empowers professionals and counselors who advocate on behalf of AAPI students to be active change makers at the regional and local levels.
