Once again, the 2008 KASCAC Bus Tour was a success!  Here are a few pictures from the trip.




2008 KASCAC Bus Tour for High School Counselors

Each year, KASCAC sponsors a Bus Tour to allow high school counselors to visit various institutions (both in-state and out-of-state) and learn what they have to offer, in order to be able to give the students they work with more specific knowledge of each school.

The tour is organized and led by Mr. Paul Radke, an admissions professional with over twenty-five years of experience.  Please feel free to email him with any questions.

The KASCAC Bus Tour began in 1997, and this year will be the eleventh time the "bus-o-fun" has hit the road.  Click here for a list of schools the tour has visited.

What Is Our Starting Point?

All four nights of hotel accommodations will be in comfortable air-conditioned suite-style rooms.  With that in mind, we ask that you indicate two preferred roommates.  You will be leaving your car at the hotel in Louisville, Kentucky, Sunday morning, and you will return to the hotel on Thursday.

Our hotel accommodations will include SpringHill Suites - Inner Harbor, Baltimore, Maryland, and three nights in the Embassy Suites DC - Convention Center.

Are Professional Development Hours Available?
Yes! Some counselors have been able to secure as many as 12 PD hours by gaining approval from their appropriate school district personnel.  Contact your school district to see if PD hours can be awarded for the Bus Tour.
