Discounted Dreams

Provost Conference Room, CG 202
Watch and react to this PBS show, Discounted Dreams: High Hopes and Harsh Realities at America's Community Colleges (60 minutes).
"Community Colleges represent the fastest growing segment of American higher education; their open admissions, low tuition and flexible scheduling draw students from all walks of life. They are the gateway to the American dream for millions. Vital yet flawed. Huge but virtually invisible. Government generally spends five times as much on prison inmates as it doesn on community colleges. Resolving these issues is essential for the American future."
Join us in a discussion of how NOVA is serving as the gateway to the American Dream in the Northern Virginia region.
Nancy Chamberlain will facilitate the discussion following the film.
