2026 PACAC Advocacy Days
Meetings with Representatives: Monday, May 18, 2026
Pennsylvania State Capitol, Harrisburg PA
8:30am to 5pm*
*end of day will vary depending on when members schedule their meetings
Each year our colleagues come together learn more about college access and advocacy in Pennsylvania. The event's professional development and training sessions give participants:
- An introduction to legislative policy in straightforward terms
- The ability to better understand the issues
- Preparation for meeting with state representatives
- Inspiration to support policies and promote postsecondary options to students
- PACAC Advocacy Days are free to attend
Led by education policy leaders in Pennsylvania with extensive knowledge on the barriers facing our students at the secondary and post-secondary levels, past sessions have covered state and national perspectives on college access and success, model programs and regional concerns. Please check the agenda for updates on this year's sessions, which will focus on actionable steps members can take to advocate for college access and other issues on the local, state, and federal level.
Please use the website below to identify your legislator to schedule your meeting with them! If you have questions about or would like assistance with scheduling your meetings, please contact Lucia Garabo at [email protected]. On Monday morning, we will meet at the front steps of the PA State Capitol Complex and use the information from Sunday’s event to advocate in person! Thank you for all the work you do on behalf of our students.
