“One of the reasons why [post-secondary education] is so important is because 70% of the jobs in our region already require a post-secondary degree or credential.” –Michele Strasz

“The average timeframe for students to complete a degree is typically around six years, not four years that we all might think of traditionally. Students have to work. The cost of college is much more expensive and students have to work and go to school at the same time.” –Michele Straz
