With May 1 quickly approaching, thousands of students are making one of the most important decisions of their lives; where to attend college. Since 2014, Michelle Obama's Reach Higher initiative has celebrated College Signing Day in an effort to encourage students to strive for higher education. Now in its fifth year, the initiative has grown tremendously and popular hashtags like #BetterMakeRoom and #ReachHigher are filling up timelines on social media.

On this episode of Admissions Live, we sit down with Eric Waldo, Executive Director of Reach Higher, to talk about this year's College Signing Day celebration, the impact the Reach Higher movement has had on America and future goals for Civic Nation.
