Darlington School’s Dean of College Guidance Sam Moss ('63) was recently honored by the Southern Association for College Admission Counseling (SACAC) for his service to the association and to the college admissions profession.
During the annual conference of the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) in Indianapolis, Moss was presented with a special award by current SACAC President Brandi Smith of Emory University "for his years of faithful service as advisor to the board of Directors." A past-president of SACAC, Moss was the first person to be appointed to the position of board advisor, recently completing 10 years in that role.
In addition to his positions in SACAC, Moss has served on the national level on the Board of Directors and on the Executive Committee of NACAC, the NACAC Admissions Practices Committee, the NACAC Governance and Nominating Committee, and also chaired the NACAC Committee on Assembly Structure, which revised the governing structure of the organization. NACAC membership is comprised of over 12,000 colleges, universities, secondary schools, and other college admissions professionals. NACAC is the premier college admissions professional association in the nation.
Previously, Moss has received both of the respective organizations' highest awards: the Larry West Award (SACAC) and the Margaret Addis Award (NACAC). Currently, Moss serves as immediate past chairman of the board of trustees of the Association of College Counselors in Independent Schools (ACCIS), on the admissions advisory board of Oglethorpe University, and locally as chairman of the board of directors of the South Rome Redevelopment Corporation.
Moss is a 1963 graduate of Darlington School, and received his Bachelor of Arts from Sewanee: the University of the South and his Master of Arts from Jacksonville University.
