Why did you join MACC VISTA: To continue to do the work that I love and to pursue the larger goal of structural change.
Why should higher ed institutions have a commitment to access to higher ed? Access to education should never be something that only a few people in our country can attain. If we want a functioning society where people are engaged and active than education is one way to make that happen. Institutions of higher education all say that the students who come from their universities do great things. What a country this would be if we could all be encouraged to do great things!
