College Connections Center

The College Connection Center (CCC) is operated by The Missouri College Advising Corps (MCAC) in the Kansas City Metro Area and was specifically designed to assist college-bound students. The CCC has been a great help to those who may otherwise have fallen victim to "summer melt", the phenomenon that up to 40% of students who are college-bound upon high school graduation do not actually enroll in college in fall. Students end up not enrolling on their selected campus for many reasons, most often due to financial burdens. Based on the experiences of model summer transition programs in Boston, Massachusetts, Fulton County, Georgia, and Providence, Rhode Island, students receiving advisement during the summer between high school and college are projected to enroll in college at a rate of 5% to 14% greater than those not receiving advisement during summer.
​
Since the inception of the CCC in 2013, we have helped hundreds of students achieve their collegiate goals. We have expanded our purpose to provide ongoing support to students - not just as they transition to college - but also through freshman and sophomore year.
