AACC Webinar: The American Graduation Initiative


MCC will host a free webinar by the American Association of Community Colleges entitled "The American Graduation Initiative:  Senate Legislation and How to Influence the Final House-Senate Conference Bill" on Thursday, November 5th 2:00 pm-3:00 pm in the Warshof Conference Center, Flynn Campus Center (Empire Room) at the Brighton Campus and 4-151 at the Damon City Campus.

The American Graduation Initiative (AGI) passed the House in September as part of the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act (H.R. 3221).  The Senate is expected to introduce and act on legislation soon.

David Baime, AACC Vice President for Government Relations, will detail the contents of the Senate bill and inform participants about how to influence the final version of this crucial legislation.  Learn the differences between the House and Senate legislation on key issues such as the structure of the AGI grant programs, accountability measures, and allowable uses of renovation and construction funds. 

The voices of community colleges will be vital in the final stages of this legislative debate, so get up to speed on all the issues by participating in this webinar!
