This event will be particularly helpful for counselors new to college counseling (five years or less), but seasoned counselors seeking additional professional development are also welcome!

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, CCI will be a completely virtual event, and will take place on Friday, October 16, 2020. Additionally, you will need to have an active MOACAC membership in order to attend the CCI.
