Panel on Higher Education Affordability and Access
HIGHER EDUCATION AFFORDABILITY AND ACCESS
College has never been such a critical steppingstone to the American middle class, and yet it has never been so expensive. Budget cuts and skyrocketing tuitions have restricted access and forced the next generation of young people to take on exceedingly high student loan debts.
Come learn about this vital national challenge that will help to shape America’s future and its commitment to social mobility. We have pulled together a stellar panel that will shed light on various aspects of this critical issue.
