Breakfast with the Deans !

A Great Success

The ACP welcomed over 50 dual credit students and their parents for “Breakfast with the Deans”. Deans and faculty from the College of Arts & Sciences, Pierre Laclede Honors College, and College of Education just to name a few, shared in casual conversation and could find them-selves “stumped” during the trivia game, “Stump the Dean!”! The event WAS A GREAT SUCCESS!
