SUMMARY:Does College Pay Off? A Discussion with Preston Cooper
DESCRIPTION:Preston Cooper is well-known for his efforts to make postsecondary education affordable and valuable for every American. As a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute\, he researches college return on investment (ROI)\, the economics of higher education\, and student loan reform. \nIn 2024\, while at The Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity\, he authored a landmark report that calculates ROI for 53\,000 higher education programs across America\, making it easy for prospective students to gauge how much a particular degree or certificate program can impact their lifetime earnings potential.  \nOn June 5\, join Martin Center president Jenna A. Robinson and Preston Cooper for a conversation about college ROI. After a short discussion\, audience members will have the opportunity to ask their questions. We’re excited to be co-hosting this event with America’s Future! \nThis event is free\, but registration is required.  \nHeavy hors de’oeurves will be served\, and each attendee may enjoy one complimentary drink from the bar. \nFor more information\, please contact Ashley Campbell at adesena@jamesgmartin.center.

SUMMARY:Let Colleges Fail: The Power of Creative Destruction in Higher Education
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a luncheon and discussion of Richard K. Vedder’s provocative new book: Let Colleges Fail: The Power of Creative Destruction in Higher Education.

He offers practical solutions to the crises facing colleges and universities and provides a blueprint for restoring affordable\, high-quality education. \nRichard K. Vedder is a Senior Fellow at the Independent Institute and long-time Martin Center contributor. He is Distinguished Emeritus Professor of Economics at Ohio University\, and he is the Founding Director of the Center for College Affordability and Productivity in Washington\, D.C. A prominent voice in current movements for reform of higher education\, Vedder served on the Secretary of Education’s Commission on the Future of Higher Education and is the author of Going Broke By Degree: Why College Costs Too Much. \n\nSponsorship Levels \n$1\,000 – 10 tickets + a copy of Let Colleges Fail: The Power of Creative Destruction in Higher Education\n$500 – 6 tickets + a copy of Let Colleges Fail: The Power of Creative Destruction in Higher Education\n$250 – 4 tickets + a copy of Let Colleges Fail: The Power of Creative Destruction in Higher Education \n***Sponsors: Please send the names of your guests to Rachel Brady at rlbrady@jamesgmartin.center. \nPlease contact Ashley Campbell at adesena@jamesgmartin.center if you or any of your guests have any dietary restrictions or preferences.
