Join us for a three hour candid discussion about the idea of free college tuition. Keynote remarks will be delivered by Under Secretary of Education Ted Mitchell, who will present details of the President’s proposal to make two years of community college tuition free. After a thorough discussion of that proposal and others to make college more affordable we will brainstorm on whether it is possible to build a bipartisan coalition of stakeholders that can work together to promote a free college idea.
