Study Group with Sec. Miguel Cardona: It’s Almost Within Reach: Higher Learning

Higher education unlocks the potential of our students, and our country. Attacks on higher education have reached a fever pitch. Here, we will explore access challenges, strategies to address challenges, and the role of federal policy. An analysis of PELL grants, its impact, and possible next steps will guide our conversation.


GUEST: James Kvaal, Undersecretary of Education (2021-2025)


AUDIENCE: These conversations are open to members of the Harvard community. Please RSVP with a valid Harvard email address.
