The RIDE is BACK...Don't Miss the Bus!

Rediscover Iowa's Diverse Education (RIDE)

Our 20th Anniversary!

 In honor of our 20th Anniversary, this year's non-refundable registration fee for school counselors is only $20!

 

It's our 20th year! Our famous 3-day bus tour for school counselors provides a door-to-door, first-hand look at select college campuses and what makes them unique. Each year the RIDE takes counselors to a variety of colleges in a specific region for tours, hands-on learning, meals
and even overnights in residence halls!

All transportation, meals, and lodging are taken care of by host colleges and Iowa ACAC.

The 2023 tour takes us to:

Iowa Central
Buena Vista University
Iowa Lakes Community College
Dordt University
Northwestern College
Northwest Community College
Morningside University
Briar Cliff University
Western Iowa Tech Community College
