Culver-Stockton College Faculty Lead Statewide Effort to Reestablish Missouri Counseling Association

A team of Culver-Stockton College faculty members has led the successful reestablishment of the Missouri Counseling Association (MCA), marking a major achievement for Culver-Stockton College and the counseling profession statewide. The association, which dissolved during the COVID-19 pandemic, has been officially reinstated as a nonprofit state branch of the American Counseling Association. The newly elected officers—Dr. Angel Knoverek (President), Dr. Mark Vander Ley (Treasurer), and Danielle Hamilton, MA (Secretary)—are all Culver-Stockton College faculty members. Together, they bring extensive academic and clinical expertise to their leadership roles, and their efforts reflect the college’s deep commitment to community engagement and mental health advocacy.

Planning Your Legacy

We are pleased to share a new feature on the Advancement pages of the Culver-Stockton College website. This resource offers valuable information about charitable giving options that can also help protect your financial future and support your family. But you don’t need to be actively planning your estate to benefit — the site offers free tools like the Estate Planning Guide and the No Cost Will Planner—both of which can be helpful at any stage of life. If you're a recent graduate starting your career, a young parent planning for your family’s future, or a retiree exploring ways to make a meaningful gift while preserving your assets, you’ll find resources tailored to your needs.
