NACAC, Austin - Texas

The National Association for College Admissions Counselling (NACAC) hosts a road show of spring and autumn student fairs visiting over 40 US cities. The fair series focuses on secondary students considering their tertiary options. Education New Zealand’s NZTE representative was asked to organise an Education New Zealand presence at the Austin, Texas NACAC fair on 30 September 2007. The majority of the 300+ institutions present at the fair were from the US, with Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia and Italy also in attendance. As well as ENZ’s NZTE representative, the MoE’s US Education Counsellor and a representative from both the University of Auckland and the University of Waikato helped staff the Education New Zealand booth.

Over 3,000 visitors attended the fair with significant numbers stopping at the Education New Zealand booth.
