IACAC History |
|
The organization today,
known as the Indiana Association for College Admission Counseling was
originated in 1939 as the Committee on Educational Cooperation in
Indiana. The group was established for the purpose of bringing some
order to college visitations to Under a March 17, 1960
constitutional revision, high school guidance counselors were added to the
membership of the Committee. This alteration reflected the redefining
of responsibilities of secondary school personnel and the growth of guidance,
and particularly college counseling, in Constitutional amendments adopted on July 12, 1966, and on April 2, 1968, provided the Committee to become the Indiana Association of College Admissions Counselors, reflecting the ties and association of the group with the National Association of College Admissions Counselors. In 1996, the organization changed the name to the Indiana Association for College Admission Counseling to reflect the membership of both high school Counselors and Admission Counselors. The history of the Association is a record of the concerns, problems, and changing patterns of preparing for and entering college. The activities are a reflection of the response of the Association to these changing patterns and concerns. The Association has served as a forum in which the colleges and high schools of the state can discuss their mutual problems. These problems take on a new perspective when they are understood by both the colleges and the high schools and when their solutions are based on the greatest needs of the college-bound student.
