KnowHow2Go shows path to education

KnowHow2Go is a national multimedia public service campaign designed to help middle school and high school students achieve their dreams of going to college. Locally, Clinton Community College (CCC) led the way in joining onto the campaign and has since been joined by both Muscatine and Scott Community Colleges.

Partnering with CCC in the initial kick off of the program were Clinton area school districts, Ashford University, the Clinton YM and YWCAs, Junior Achievement and Big Brothers/Big Sisters.

“KnowHow2Go provides information for all students interested in furthering their education,” Clinton Community College President Karen Vickers said. “It’s especially intended, however, for those who are underserved or are the first in their family to pursue a secondary education and are unaware of the steps they must take.

“Because those students so often don’t know or understand those steps, they are vastly underrepresented at most colleges,” she said. “One of the many unique things about community colleges is that we can be that starting point for students.”

The community college’s low tuition and financial aid opportunities make a college or technical education affordable for everyone. In addition, the colleges offer a variety of academic support options, free of charge, that provide students the help they need to succeed in all of their classwork.

Clinton Community College Admissions Officer Cheryl Tack said that the most important thing for people to know is that help is available.

“They shouldn’t feel like they’re all alone or like they’re the only ones who are confused,” Tack said. “This is what we do every day. We’re here to help people understand the process and, best of all, to help them see what’s possible. They just need to give us a call.”

CCC worked with Ashford University to kick off the KnowHow2Go campaign this past fall with a Back to College night at a Clinton LumberKings game.
