2025 International ACAC Conference Sessions

What Is the Value of a Counselor Fly-In? In Defense of PD Budgets

Wednesday, July 16, 2025 at 11:00 AM–12:15 PM EDT
RI 300
Session Description

How do college counselors really feel about professional development opportunities, especially university fly-in programs? We’re setting out to find out! Our survey will tap into counselors’ insights on the value of these experiences, budget constraints, and how fly-ins influence their recommendations to students. By collecting and analyzing their perspectives, we aim to help universities refine these programs to better support counselors and, ultimately, the students they serve. Let’s bridge the gap between intention and impact—because when professional development truly meets counselors’ needs, everyone benefits!
