The Missouri College Advising Corps (MCAC) is made up of 25 MU graduates. Headquartered at MU, the corps places the graduates in high schools in Kansas City, St. Louis and southcentral rural Missouri, where they help students learn more about the college application process. Advisers counsel high school students on the “best fit” college for them, which may not necessarily be MU, said Beth Tankersley-Bankhead, the corps director (shown in the middle between columns). Students interested in becoming an adviser may attend one of the following information sessions: 3–5 p.m. Jan. 31; 2–4 p.m. Feb. 13; and 1–3 p.m. March 4 in the Student Center, 2205 A&B. For more information, email Cherelle Washington at washingtoncs@missouri.edu.
