Today’s Students Need New Policy Solutions

Mar 4, 2019

12:30pm – 1:30pm CT

One would assume that the federal law, which governs higher education, reflects the needs of today’s students. However, the Higher Education Act has not been updated in over a decade & the current national student body is older, working more, attending college part-time, and living off campus. Hear from current/former Congressional staffers who will craft new policies: will they reflect solutions that encourage innovation, address financial needs, and ensure students are prepared for the workforce?
