New Coalition Advocates for College Completion

Posted by Bridget Marquis on June 09, 2011

Today, CEOs for Cities joined the National Coalition for College Completion, a diverse, nonpartisan group representing business, civil rights, community-based, student and youth advocacy organizations in support of increasing college completion. As our Talent Dividend cities understand, increasing college attainment and economic development are one and the same. There are millions of Americans who started college, but just didn't finish. And finishing is what counts. Boosting college completion is critical to the future economic vitality of our cities and the nation, which is why CEOs for Cities has joined this national coalition.

We encourage Talent Dividend leaders to visit the Coalition’s website, which launched today, and download the toolkit with sample letters to policymakers and the media on increasing college completion.
