Join us at the Philadelphia College Prep Roundtable Fall Symposium entitled New Rules, Real Impact: College Access and Success in Transition where we will dive into the new federal budget, changing policies and implications for college access and access work. We will also examine educational attainment in Philadelphia and how college access programs can best connect with and serve students in this new landscape.

Finally, we will provide an opportunity for participants to more closely examine hot button issues in college access and success through concurrent afternoon breakout sessions. Don’t miss the important information, insightful discussions and opportunities to network with like-minded colleagues that the day will provide.
