Topic: What is Advocacy?

Speaker:  

David Hawkins, Chief Education and Policy Officer at NACAC.

Hawkins has been directing various NACAC programs and departments for two decades, but his latest role brings a higher-level focus to the association’s efforts. “[It] involves setting an educational agenda for the organization, expanding our advocacy agenda, and continuing and evolving the research we’ve done over the years, including taking on a new facet of work—cultivating relationships with foundations to support NACAC’s mission and new initiatives,” said Hawkins. Additionally, he will guide efforts to ensure that diversity, equity, and inclusion are interwoven in both the internal and external activities of the association.

Hawkins has played a key role in setting NACAC’s strategic direction, which involved hearing and representing the collective voice of NACAC, he said. Beyond continuing to be a proponent of ethical behavior and good practice in college admission, NACAC is looking to help transform US higher education at large. The association aims to address some of the more significant challenges that higher education is facing today—and he has and will continue to play a major part in that effort.
