Welcome to the Pennsylvania College Advising Corps -
Penn State (PACAC)

Our program’s goal is to help Pennsylvania students receive a postsecondary education. Funded by a grant from the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation, recent Penn State graduates will serve as advisers in selected public secondary institutions in southeastern Pennsylvania.

Following in the tradition of the AmeriCorps and Teach for America programs, the Pennsylvania College Advising Corps—Penn State will recruit and train recent college graduates to work full-time as advisers for one or two years following graduation. The program will provide support for high school students in low-income neighborhoods to help them enroll in postsecondary institutions that fit their individual academic profiles, career goals, and personal circumstances.
