Welcome to Knowledge for College, a weekly podcast hosted by Nicole Farmer Hurd, Ph.D., College Advising Corps founder and CEO. In Episode 7, Dr. Hurd speaks with Daveed Diggs, actor, producer, and CAC board member, and Cameron Schmidt-Temple, College Adviser Fellow, University of California, Berkeley. (This episode contains some strong language.) “Going to college opened so many doors for me both professionally and intellectually. Many students in this country miss out on higher education due to factors that have nothing to do with capacity to learn or to participate and thrive in a college environment. CAC is doing incredible work to help students navigate the process of applying for college and providing support for students on the path to attaining a higher education and this is exactly the kind of hands on advocacy that can actually combat some of the disastrous racial, economic, and gender disparities in this country. I’m so excited to be part of CAC.” —Daveed Diggs To learn more about College Advising Corps' mission to increase the number of low-income, first-generation, and underrepresented students entering higher education, visit https://collegeadvisingcorps.org.
