Mississippi Drive-in Workshop & Advocacy Day
Thursday, January 29, 2026 (8:30 AM - 3:00 PM) (CST)
Description
Join us for both the Mississippi Drive-in Workshop and Advocacy Day (or just attend one!) This will be an opportunity to connect with fellow high school counselors, learn more about what impacts your students, enjoy great food, and spend a day at the Capitol! We'll meet at Get2College Center (Jackson). Light refreshments will be provided in the morning at check-in from 8:30 - 9:00. Lunch will be provided at the end of the Drive-in Workshop as the group departs for the Capitol. Advocacy Day at the Mississippi Capitol will be from 1:00 - 3:00.
Note that we will be acting as representatives of SACAC and as Mississippi educators, not as representatives of our respective institutions.
