NECBAC is a non-profit organization that has helped admissions professionals grow in the field of multicultural student recruitment. Through the professional development opportunities within this organization, we have been able to help students from all over the country achieve their higher education dreams. Our membership is comprised of over 40 member institutions representing four-year, private colleges and universities across New England. Along with these members, there is an amazing support network of associate members who have left their member institutions, but remain dedicated to helping bridge access to thousands of students and families around the country.

NECBAC is fortunate to have a seasoned and dedicated group of individuals who are committed to our mission and vision. Throughout its existence, NECBAC has been a brain trust of knowledge, expertise, and talent with an eye on professional development; with this talent, the organization has presented on a number of different topics around the country pertaining to higher education access, advocacy for multicultural students, and current trends and issues that impact our students and our professions. At its core NECBAC is an organization full of passionate members that, through helping each other, helps our students succeed.

The results of our work come in many forms. We achieve our goals of helping students find the college and university of their dreams through our group travel events, college fairs, and generous book scholarships. We form a support network to many admissions counselors as they plan their recruitment efforts through the sharing of data, current trends, and methods that may help member institutions achieve their enrollment goals. And we empower our members grow professionally in the field; many of our associate members are now college counselors, directors or deans of admissions, and even CEO’s of companies around the country. It is all in part to the opportunities that NECBAC has offered our members for over 35 years.

We welcome and encourage your feedback and suggestions about how we can continue to push for equity and access in education.  Feel free to browse our website and consider becoming a member to have full-access to our knowledge center. If you are interested in learning more about how your institution can become a part of NECBAC, please feel free to contact myself or any member of our executive board.

We hope that we hear from you soon, and welcome to NECBAC.org!
