The Carolina Corps continues to help students find the right path to college.

The Carolina College Advising Corps expanded to Vance County in 2014. A former student discusses the impact of the program in the community and statewide.

Advisers Austin Dixon and Tavaris Baxter of Vance County organized a College Signing Day event to celebrate their seniors’ decisions to pursue post-secondary education or join the military.

Adviser Ricky Ruvio, who serves Hibriten High School and West Caldwell High School in Caldwell County, spoke about his work with first-generation college students on WUNC’s “The State of Things.”

Chancellor Carol L. Folt visited Reidsville High School and spoke about the importance of higher education.

The White House speaks on non-profit groups and foundations that have committed to helping to improve college access.

Chancellor Folt attended at a day-long White House summit on college affordability this week; this just goes to highlight Carolina’s long-standing commitment to ensuring access to a high-quality education for students.

The Carolina College Advising Corps was featured in the March/April 2011 Carolina Alumni Review’s article “The Other High School Counselors,” by Bill Krueger.
