About the Program
California’s economy increasingly relies on highly educated workers—and its higher education system is not keeping pace. To meet future economic demand, the state needs to set new statewide goals for higher education. Join us for an in–depth conversation between PPIC President Mark Baldassare and Gavin Newsom, lieutenant governor of California, followed by a panel discussion with experts and elected leaders.
