Lee Fisher, President and CEO of CEOs for Cities, recently spoke at the National Summit on Near Completion. Hosted by the Institute for Higher Education Policy, the summit focused on the importance of increasing college degree attainment by engaging college dropouts. By recruiting “near completers” and making earning a degree affordable and accessible, institutions of higher learning can increase college completion rates. IHEP’s framework on increasing completion rates complements CEOs for Cities’ 101 Wacky Ideas, a body of research on ways to reclaim pre-graduates. A video featuring Lee Fisher and showing highlights of the conference is available here.
