What a great day on the Sweet Magnolia Bus Tour! 🚌

Last month, education professionals joined Get2College for visits to The University of Southern Mississippi and Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College, getting a closer look at the programs, people, and opportunities available to Mississippi students.

At USM, we heard from academic deans, advisors, and students and enjoyed lunch on campus. At MGCCC, representatives from across the college shared distinctive programs and pathways available at their campuses.

One of our favorite takeaways? So many participants discovered programs and opportunities they didn’t know existed. That means even more information to take back and share with students! 🎓

Thank you to The University of Southern Mississippi, Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College Perkinston Campus, and everyone who joined us for a great day of learning and connection.
