Earlier this week, Chancellor Juan Salgado joined national leaders, researchers, advocates, and student leaders for the Lumina Foundation's Achieving College Affordability convening, focused on making college more affordable and accessible.
During the discussion, Chancellor Salgado highlighted City Colleges of Chicago’s early college programs, scholarships, programs in high demand fields, and unrivaled supports that address student basic needs and help students balance college, work, and family.
