President’s Message

Amy Chung, Boston College

Hello!

Thank you for visiting our website and engaging with our organization! We are so happy you are here. For nearly 50 years, the Northeast Consortium Bridging Access to College (NECBAC) has been committed to serving admission counselors of color and providing greater access to higher education throughout the northeast. Over the last several years, we have faced unprecedented challenges amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the racial reckoning facing America, and the ruling on race-conscious admission practices from the Supreme Court of the United States – and at its very core, NECBAC is an organization that persists in the face of challenging times.

While the ways in which we do our work have changed throughout the years, NECBAC’s commitment to access remains steadfast. We continue to live the mission that was laid by the founders of this organization: to provide professional development for our members and to serve students who are traditionally underrepresented in higher education. At NECBAC, we understand the importance of community and value the voices of all who engage with us. We hope that you will join us in this work, and call on us when we can be of support.

This space has meant so much to me throughout my years working in college admission, and I hope it can serve you just as well.
