Colleges & high school counselors gather for 2011 MOACAC Cube Conference

(originally published to KC Examiner.com on September 3, 2011)

On Friday, high school counselors and independent college consultants from across the Kansas City metro area spent the day with college admission representatives hearing updates from fifty colleges and universities. Most of the participating campuses are in Missouri, but not all.

Hosted by the Missouri Association for College Admission Counseling (MOACAC), the event was held on the campus of Avila University in south Kansas City, Missouri. The annual event, which began at 7:30am and continued until 2pm, included individual school updates during three sessions, lunch on campus, then concluded with a college fair so that materials could be distributed to the counselors and consultants in attendance.
