Colloquium

Roundtablel discussion

July 26 - 29, 2025
University School of Nashville

Known for its small size, in-depth conversations, and collaborative spirit, ACCIS Colloquium offers independent school college counselors the time and space to reflect, create, and connect with colleagues from across the country. With three immersive pathways, The Art of the Recommendation, Integrating Identity and Values into the Curriculum, and Telling Stories with Data, this year’s theme, Story, Self, and Systems, explores the micro, meso, and macro layers of our work as storytellers and advocates.

Through a mix of virtual pre-meetings, hands-on sessions, and 3C Collaborative follow-ups, participants will engage in deep professional learning that leads to real, actionable outcomes. You’ll leave ready to write more efficient and authentic letters (and you’ll have written a letter or two already!), guide students in articulating identity and purpose, and collect and communicate data to tell your office’s story with confidence and clarity.

Beyond the tools, you’ll gain a network of colleagues who continue learning and creating with you long after July ends.

ACCIS members of all experience levels are encouraged to attend, especially those eager for focused work time, meaningful collaboration, measurable outcomes and deliverables, and professional development that reimagines how we tell our stories at every scale.
