On behalf of the 2024 NYSACAC Steering Committee and our 2024 Conference Host Site Molloy University, welcome to the 2024 NYSACAC Coming Together & Annual Conference Website. The Steering Committee and Host Site are busy planning an amazing conference. This year’s theme is “Transforming U”. As higher education professionals we are seeing the changing landscape of college admissions, this year’s theme will help highlight how we as professionals are helping to transform higher education.NYSACAC continues to be a leading organization at both the state and national level to promote higher education. This year’s conference will once again have an abundance of educational sessions, and social events at both Coming Together and the Annual Conference. Some of our social highlights will be a college fair, a CBO fair, a vendor hall, local college tours, our annual bocce and corn hole tournaments, WINGO (Wings and Bingo) and Happy Hour in downtown Rockville Centre These events allow for our colleagues to once again spend time together sharing educational ideas and networking in order to help our students.
Our host site Molloy University is located on a beautiful 30 acres suburban campus located in Rockville Centre New York. The campus is nestled in the heart of Nassau County Long Island. It is conveniently located near both LaGuardia and JFK airports, and the Rockville Centre train station on the Babylon Branch of the Long Island Railroad is minutes from campus.

I am absolutely delighted to invite you to join us at Molloy University for the NYSACAC conference in June! It is our privilege to have such a diverse and knowledgeable group of colleagues gathered here to share ideas, insights, and expertise. As we come together, I’m reminded of the power of collaboration and the importance of sharing knowledge. This conference provides us with a unique platform to learn from each other, inspire one another, and forge new connections.The committee is hard at work planning all the details to ensure a fantastic conference. In addition to dynamic keynote speakers, relevant educational sessions, and local college tours, our sponsors and vendors are excited to meet with you. We hope that you will gather valuable information at the college and CBO fairs, that you can take back to your schools to share with your students. I encourage you to make the most of this opportunity to learn, connect and collaborate.
Oh and don’t worry…we haven’t forgotten about the social events! You will have lots of opportunities to reconnect with friends and build new relationships while playing bocce, taking an off-campus trip for the evening, or dancing to a favorite tune!
Molloy has always been a hub of academic excellence, focusing on transformative education. Today we are taking a significant step forward by hosting this conference. Thank you for being a part of this journey. Please feel at home on our campus.
