2026 International ACAC Conference Session Proposal Form

Conflict, violence, persecution, and natural disasters are part of our students' lives; we don't (like to) think of these as part of the admissions process, but they are. As busy practitioners we may feel overwhelmed upon hearing of a student in this situation; we may feel panicked, isolated and not know how to assist or guide them, but there are numerous resources and knowledgeable, experienced colleagues who have been in your shoes! Join us for this practical session to build your toolkit of resources to assist students in building bridges to successful futures. You will leave with information about how to obtain and reconstruct 'missing' documents, ask relevant questions to assess needed information, understand global admission policies, learn about immigration and funding resources and how others have been able to support students in these situations.
