Students at Metropolitan Community College Kansas City are going to great heights to get NBC meteorologist Al Roker to come to "their neck of the woods".
A group of lineman students broke an unofficial world record today by having the most people climb a 15-foot-wood electrical pole.
It's all forRokerthon3 -- an event where Roker hits college campuses across America.
"We heard that Al Roker was going to visit several campuses and universities across the country and we wanted him to realize, community college plays an important role in our country and our community," said MCC-KC Business and Technology Campus president Jackie Gill. "We provide open access and opportunity to everyone who comes through our doors."
