South Jersey Higher Education Leaders & Students Join Norcross to Discuss College Affordability, Accessibility & Workforce Training

Statement

Date: Aug. 23, 2019
Location: Cherry Hill, NJ
Issues: Higher Education Education

Today, U.S. Congressman Donald Norcross (NJ-01), a member of the House Committee on Education and Labor's Subcommittee on Higher Education & Workforce Investment, held a roundtable discussion with South Jersey higher education leaders and students. The discussion, which focused on affordability, accessibility and workforce training, precedes Congressional action to reauthorize the Higher Education Act this fall and winter.

"We must work to make college more affordable, more inclusive and more effective in preparing students for the jobs of the future. Our children and grandchildren should not be graduating with astronomical debt and a piece of paper that doesn't lead to a good-paying job," said Congressman Donald Norcross. "Our area's institutions have affordability programs that are unmatched national exemplars. As we work to provide opportunities for all American students to succeed, there is no better place to look for inspiration than in South Jersey."
