important activity for future college counselors and ACCA provides that in
spades! State and national conferences, workshops, the ACCA Listserv (ACCA-L) –
all provide opportunities to meet with college counselors, exchange ideas,
foster mentor relationships, and discover resources. After all, graduate
students are the future of the college counseling profession!
