College Bound

The goal of the College Bound television program on Dayton Access Television is to promote higher education to the residents of Southwest Ohio. College is accessible to those who have the desire for higher education, and SOCHE is trying to spread this message through the show. Through a roundtable discussion format, we invite guests from the twenty-one SOCHE institutions to come and represents their institutions regarding specific topics centered on promoting higher education.
