Month: July 2017

The 2017 College Changes Everything Conference was held July 20 at the Tinley Park Convention Center, with record participation by over 500 attendees. Sponsored by the Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC), the conference annually provides in-depth information and resources regarding post-secondary readiness, access and attainment. This year’s theme of equity focused on closing opportunity and achievement gaps, inclusivity, student engagement, and cultural responsiveness.

The logic was simple: if students know they will pay more per credit hour if they take excess credits more of them will graduate on time.
