Higher Education Day - February 28th, 2013
February 28th, 2013 is proclaimed by the Alabama state governor as Higher Education Day. Join with students, faculty, staff and other supporters to visit Montgomery and take part in a huge rally supporting higher education. With thousands attending, legislators and other policy makers have a real-life “visual” of the huge support coming from Alabama’s 15 public universities. In a relaxed setting, over a free barbeque lunch, rally participants have the opportunity to advocate the importance of more funding for higher education face to face with policy makers.
Amongst its many goals, Higher Education Day serves three primary benefits
- Allows for faculty and staff of Alabama's universities to take a stand to show their important work and merits strong state support.
- It is an opportunity for every student in the state of Alabama to take a stand and show that Alabama's economic development and quality of life depend on higher education.
-
A forum for students and their families to demand adequate state funding that keeps tuition affordable.
Ensure that your desire and need for affordable Higher Education continues by joining us as we travel to the State Capitol February 28th and let your voice be heard!
