Toward A New Beginning

The global recession has highlighted the vital nature of college completion and affordability.

"We will provide the support necessary for you to complete college and meet a new goal:  by 2020, America will once again have the highest proportion of college graduates in the world.”

— President Barack Obama, Feb. 24, 2009

 

“I challenge state, college and university leaders to put affordability front and center as they chart a path forward. I challenge them to follow the example of the University [System] of Maryland, where they’re streamlining administrative costs, cutting energy costs, using faculty more effectively, making it possible for them to freeze tuition for students and for families.”

— President Obama, April 24, 2009
