Making College Pay: A Talk About Student Choice

Description:

Is college really worth it? In short, yes. Is the traditional path espoused by society the best choice for all people, their financial wellbeing, and our economy? Not entirely. Guided by the student’s perspective, we’ll have a conversation about the business models, risks, and future of higher education; increasing student’s ROI with the right knowledge to make the right choice for their personal education; and we’ll challenge higher ed and policy to follow along the path students choose.
