Purpose of Meeting
The Partnership for College Completion invites you to attend the Greater Chicagoland
Community Conversations event to learn about the impact of Illinois’ current approach to
funding public universities on Illinois students, families, and communities and begin taking
action by joining a dynamic community of advocates.
Through these conversations, attendees will learn about the importance and urgency of our
state adequately, equitably, and stably funding its public universities so that affordability is
no longer a barrier for students to access a quality college education and persist to earn a
college degree.
By attending a Community Conversations event, a geographically diverse group of
influential and impacted students, organizations, leaders, and communities will gain the
tools they need to call for change on issues related to higher education funding equity.
