Honors in Action: Commit to Complete Issue 5: Education - What is the relationship between information and education?

How and why did you choose a particular issue related to the democratization of information? We wanted to focus on an issue that the college community could directly relate to and be affected by. Though the concern of completing college is evident within local boundaries, education is an essential component of the American society. America's demise as a leader in college graduation rates is exhibited at Bergen Community College. Many students enroll at Bergen every year; however, the amount of students that leave Bergen without completing a degree surpasses the amount that do obtain a degree. Some of these students go on to pursue their academic goals at four-year institutions, only to change their paths later down the line. Failure to complete an associate's degree has left many individuals (unfinished thoughts)
