Half of the students who enroll don’t graduate, and that is a problem the next Higher Education Act should address.

You may have already been involved in the many different advocacy efforts our network has participated in, or perhaps you are already engaged with the community in another capacity. Today we share some new ways that you can get involved to push our legislators to vote for additional funding so that our educators and students have the resources that they need.
