Don't Miss the Bus!

Our annual FREE, three-day charter bus tour for secondary counselors includes door-to-door visits to Iowa's college campuses, allowing school counselors firsthand insight to better support their students. It's a learning adventure jam-packed with college tours, activities, meals, and overnight stays in hotels and residence halls - and it's all for a mere $25 registration!

  • All lodging, meals, and transportation during the trip are generously covered by host institutions and Iowa ACAC. You’ll only be responsible for personal expenses such as snacks or souvenirs.
  • The $25 registration fee renews your high school's Iowa ACAC institutional membership for one year, when even one person from your school participates!

 

1.  Two RIDE attendees will win free registration to the ISCA Conference this fall
2.  One RIDE participant will receive free registration and hotel stay to the ISCA conference!

Don't miss the bus - and one of the premier professional development opportunities for high school counselors in Iowa!

Thank you to the colleges and universities who welcomed us and hosted us overnight! We appreciate the time and effort it takes to organize this event!
