Embassy Suites, Des Moines

From budget cuts to issues of preparation, access, and degree completion, the students we work with face difficult decisions as they consider, and enroll in college. Meeting with elected officials is an important way to make your opinions heard on these and other issues.

During Visit the Hill, participants will receive the necessary training and information to help lobby for issues critical to the interests of students transitioning from high school to college. The group will then go to the state capitol to meet with individual representatives and senators.

Session topics include:

·         Costs/benefits of dual-credit enrollment

·         Implication of prior-prior year change to the FAFSA

·         College funding

·         How to effectively engage with elected officials

·         College readiness and preparation

There is no cost to participate in the Visit the Hill program. Travel scholarships are available. To register, visit www.iowaacac.org/visit-the-hill.
