Thank you for your interest in the Michigan College Access Network (MCAN) College Bound Michigan Campaign (CBMI). College Bound Michigan is a suite of initiatives designed to build and support college-going cultures in high schools and their surrounding communities. Our work intentionally helps school counselors, college advisers, community-based partners, and other educators build strong college-going cultures that connect all students with formal education beyond high school--including postsecondary certificates and academic degrees. CBMI brings together all of the statewide initiatives (College Month, College Cash Campaign, and Decision Day) into one campaign to help bring Michigan closer to 60% postsecondary attainment!
