2026 International ACAC Conference Session Proposal Form

Building ethical bridges means creating dialogue rooted in trust, transparency, and integrity—even when the path is unclear. In a time when global admission practices grow increasingly complex, how can practitioners navigate dilemmas productively while upholding ethical standards? Join members of the Admissions Practices Committee in an interactive session exploring how to apply the NACAC Guide to Ethical Practice in College Admission when faced with ambiguous or conflicting real-world situations. Through case studies and open discussion, we will unpack how to respond to challenges involving recruitment practices, early decision concerns, agent relationships, and institutional pressures—focusing on process over judgment. This session aims to empower both secondary and post-secondary professionals with tools and frameworks for approaching ethical gray areas, fostering a shared understanding of what ethical bridge-building in admissions looks like around the world.
