VCAC Celebrates 15 years
Thank you to everyone who makes the impact of VCAC possible! College advisers past and present, school division colleagues, institutional anchors, financial supporters, and other partners.
mission
Increasing the number of low-income, first-generation, and underrepresented high school students who enter and complete higher education.
Vision
Virginia College Advising Corps addresses structural inequities in the education system that have systematically advantaged some populations over others. We have a responsibility to our students, our communities, and our Commonwealth to understand how these historical injustices continue to impact current day opportunities and outcomes. We are fierce advocates for low-income, first-generation, and underrepresented students, and believe that access to higher education is paramount to racial and economic equity. We are working towards a day when race, socioeconomic status or zip code are no longer factors in educational outcomes.

"I have a passion for mentoring youth, particularly those who share my background, and I want to take all the lessons I had to learn on my own and share them with people entering positions I was once in so that they are better prepared than I was."
