News Release
HARTFORD CITY, Ind. – Indiana Commissioner for Higher Education Teresa Lubbers will kick off the fall 2014 leg of her statewide “College Success Tour” tomorrow at 8 a.m. in the Hartford County City Hall.
Indiana's education attainment level and personal per capita income are two data points that are directly linked to the fact that only a third of Hoosier adults have more than a high school diploma. Indiana has set a goal of increasing the proportion of Hoosiers with a college credential, including one-year workforce certificates, two-year associate degrees and four year bachelor's degrees, to 60 percent of the state's population by 2025.
College Success Summits
Sponsored by the Indiana Commission for Higher Education, the regional “College Success Summits” events are hosted by a county College Success Coalition, a growing statewide network of local organizations working to increase college access and success. The events are part of an ongoing public engagement effort designed to increase the education level of all Hoosiers.
