One of the ways the college maintains its strong connection to the St. Louis metropolitan area is through its longstanding partnership with the Regional Chamber and Growth Association.

Advantage Capital has long been involved in the communities in which it invests and the RCGA is one of the ways that we stay involved in the region. It is truly an outstanding organization." Scott A. Zajac "As a new-comer to the St. Louis market three years ago, I was impressed with the activities of the RCGA in promoting the region and in ensuring its success. It is wonderful to be part of an organization who thinks holistically of what the needs are of a community and then systematically goes about the business of removing the barriers to success."
