Like never before students and their families are tackling important issues of access and affordability when it comes to higher education. For young women in particular there also are questions about how institutions of higher education provide the skills they need to become leaders. Panelists at our September Forum will discuss effective strategies to making higher education more accessible and affordable for PA families and how they are preparing our children, especially young women, for leadership roles when they graduate.
