Summer Virtual Inclusion Conference CancelledFor a variety of reasons (Zoom fatigue, low registration numbers, lack of technology resources for students, etc.), the MOACAC Inclusion, Access, and Success Committee is cancelling this summer's Virtual Inclusion Conference. Please look for details to come regarding other opportunities during the school year from the Inclusion, Access and Success Committee, including incentives for students to attend the events. We want to be able to help Missouri families learn how to navigate the college experience successfully through a diversity-inclusive lens. If you have any questions, please contact Amber Mitchell at [email protected]. |
The Inclusion, Access and Success (IAS) Committee strives to advance the Missouri Association for College Admission Counseling's (MOACAC) commitment to inclusion for under-served students, their parents, and the educational professionals who guide them.
