Lessen Student Debt, Improve Graduate Wellbeing
Description:
With $1.5 trillion in national student loan debt, we do not need more amplifiers of the problem; we need more communicators of solutions. Successful responsible borrowing programs rely on a premise of behavioral economics and innovation. This dynamic discussion opens the floor to examine strategies for lessening debt and improving graduate wellbeing. As a higher education community, we must take corrective actions on behalf of students, their families, and our economy. Together, we can do this.
