Choosing to serve as an adviser was one of the best decisions ever. Serving changed the course of my life. I wouldn't be on the same path now if it weren’t for my College Advising Corps experience. Benjamin Wilkerson, Alumnus, Indiana University Bloomington

As an adviser, you’re part of a growing national movement to expand access to higher education.

Are you a recent or soon-to-be college graduate eager to make an impact? Do you want to be a change-maker? Join College Advising Corps and become part of a movement to ensure all young people can access education beyond high school to realize their dreams.

As an adviser, you become a trusted member in your school and the community. And, as you guide your students on a path to success, we will guide and support you in building valuable skills for your own career. We will help prepare you for Life After the Corps.
