NATIONAL HIGHER EDUCATION DAY | JUNE 6
National Higher Education Day on June 6th each year aims to prepare a path for more students toward a higher education degree.
#NationalHigherEducationDay
Exponential costs of higher education and the United States opportunity gap have turned a college degree into something of a luxury for many Americans. Guiding and motivating future college students through the process of preparing for higher education will help increase their chances of graduating with a degree. The observance is designed to educate and inspire students. For more information, please visit nationalhighereducationday.org
It is my desire to have a National Higher Education Day to educate and promote the many different ways students can fund their education. By having a National Day I will be able to inspire students of all ages to never give up on their dream of receiving a higher education degree! Izamar Olaguez, founder of National Higher Education Day.
- Expense – The cost of going to college continues to rise.
- Indecision – Many students change their major multiple times during their college career.
- Family – Commitments to family conflict with their educational goals.
- Unprepared – The course work is more difficult than their current abilities have prepared them for.
- Mental health – They don’t have solid coping skills for the stressors of academic life.
The observance encourages students, educators, and families to tackle some of the issues of higher education head-on. By preparing students in all areas of their life, finding financial resources, addressing their educational goals, as well as focuses on their total health and well-being, students will look forward to a successful high educational career path.
