Coffee with KHEAA Live from Detroit: The College Match Day Special

In this special live episode of Coffee with KHEAA, Cassi and Brandi take the podcast on the road to the American College Application Campaign Convening in Detroit, Michigan. Joined by Lisa Summer King from the American College Application Campaign and Ashley Johnson from the Kresge Foundation, the team dives into the creation and impact of College Match Day, an initiative helping high school juniors explore colleges through engaging, student-centered activities. From blind college match games and scavenger hunts to rap battles, snow cones, and live audience laughs, this episode highlights how schools across the country are rethinking college access and creating stronger college-going cultures for students. The group also discusses the importance of community partnerships, creativity in education, and how programs like College Match Day are helping students make informed decisions about their futures long before senior year. Plus, the crew debates the perfect Detroit coney dog order, shares behind-the-scenes podcast chaos, and records in front of Coffee with KHEAA’s very first live studio audience. Tune in for a fun, heartfelt conversation about college access, student engagement, and the power of meeting students where they are.
