2026 PACAC Advocacy Days

Each year, colleagues gather to learn more about college access and advocacy in Pennsylvania. The event's professional development and training sessions provide participants with an introduction to legislative policy in straightforward terms, the ability to better understand the issues, preparation for meeting with state representatives, and inspiration to support policies and promote postsecondary options to students. Led by education policy leaders in Pennsylvania with extensive knowledge on the barriers facing students at the secondary and post-secondary levels, past sessions have covered state and national perspectives on college access and success, model programs, and regional concerns. This year's sessions will focus on actionable steps members can take to advocate for college access and other issues on the local, state, and federal level. The event includes an Educational Session and Meetings with Representatives at the Pennsylvania State Capitol.
