2/26/2018 Group Watch: AL Higher Ed Day Calls for More Funding
Last Thursday was Higher Education Advocacy Day at the Alabama Statehouse. The day represents an opportunity for students to directly share the importance of increased funding for higher education to Governor Ivey, state lawmakers and other constitutional officers. Legislators were invited to sit at tables with students to hear directly from them the needs and opportunities of higher education. Higher Education Day is organized by the Higher Education Partnership, which say says higher education is an important economic driver in communities, creating jobs, strengthening quality of life and making a $20 billion annual economic impact.
