Did you know that nearly 25% of low-income students who score in the top quartile on standardized tests never go to college? CAC helps students go to college—because we know in today's world, economic mobility begins with educational mobility. https://t.co/1wyfjL3DZk

“Spending my days helping students come closer to uncovering and pursuing how they want to uniquely impact the world is such an important task, especially as our country approaches a time where it must decide what course through history it will pursue.” -Mr. Scales

[WashU College Advising Corps @wustl_cac]

"I get to lift students higher and help them with their dreams and achievements. I have become the type of resource I sought after in high school, and I get to work with demographics that resonate with me. I can honestly say I love my job—every moment, every challenge." -Mx. Kirk

[WashU College Advising Corps @wustl_cac]

“There is an incredible lack of guidance and information when it comes to post-secondary planning, especially in underserved high schools, and working as a college adviser I help bridge that gap!” -Ms. McManus, first year adviser

[WashU College Advising Corps @wustl_cac]

"Not every student has the same support systems helping them apply to college. I was really lucky to have counselors and family members to help me navigate the process, and I want to be that person for my students.” - Ms. Britto, second year adviser

[WashU College Advising Corps @wustl_cac]

“I advise because although the road to (and through) college is scary, I know it can be navigated, and I have a civic and moral duty to use what I know to help those who need it." - Mr. Jeffrey, second year adviser

“So many students don’t know where to look or what steps to take to reach their dreams. We’re here to bridge that gap, and it’s so rewarding to see students excited about higher education” - Ms. Gleason, second year adviser
