At UConn, Congressmen seek grassroots support for college affordability reform

STORRS, Conn. – U.S. Reps. Joe Courtney and John Larson called Monday for “bottom-up support” from University of Connecticut students during a forum on student loan debt and college affordability at the Storrs campus.

“Change doesn’t happen in Washington, D.C. Any great idea starts in places like Storrs, starts in places where it’s the people that are directly affected by an issue that come together and unite,” Larson told a group of UConn students.

The congressmen said employers increasingly are seeking workers with some level of college education.
