NATIONAL HIGHER EDUCATION DAY – June 6 | National Day Calendar
National Higher Education Day falls on June 6 on the National Day Calendar. This National Day is intended to help you prepare a path towards a higher education degree. Our hope is to share encouraging information for to those interested or already pursuing a higher education degree.
#NationalHigherEducationDay
Exponential costs of higher education and the U.S. opportunity gap have turned a college degree into something of a luxury for many Americans. Guiding and motivating future and current college students through the process of preparing for higher education will help increase their chances of graduating with a degree. Today, we are determined to educate and inspire people to pursue a degree in higher education.
Today is a day to encourage students, educators, and families to tackle some of the issues of higher education head-on. By helping students find financial resources, addressing their educational goals, and focusing on their total health and well-being, students will look forward to a successful higher eduation experience. It is equally important to encourage students to graduate from high school. All students must find ways to overcome the challenges in the world. Supporting and encouraging higher education will help students strive for a better future.
The factors that affect the choice of college include academic reputation, availability of desired program, job placement rate, cost of attendance, and location.
College Degree Obstacles
- Expense. The cost of attending a college or university continues to rise and can be a major factor on why someone decides not to go to college.
- Indecision. Many students change their major multiple times during their college career. Having the proper guidance can help a student focus on a career path they will love.
- Family. Commitments to family conflict with educational goals. A family that encourages students to pursue their own dreams paves the way for a better life for everyone.
- Unpreparedness. Many students are not prepared for the transition from high school to college. Oftentimes, they find the course work more difficult. Students who have support of peers and mentors can better match abilities to courses. In fact, helping students find services, such as a tutor, will help the student progress.
- Mental health. Many students lack solid coping skills for the stressors of academic life, especially at the higher education level. Providing services and direction can help a student overcome and deal with college.
It is my desire to have a National Higher Education Day to educate and promote the many different ways students can fund their education. By having a National Day I will be able to inspire students of all ages to never give up on their dream of receiving a higher education degree! Izamar Olaguez, founder of National Higher Education Day.
About 51 percent of adults in the U.S. consider a college education to be very important. These adults believe that higher education will help them earn higher wages and decrease unemployment. Unfortunately, the majority of colleges admit less than 10 percent of the applicants are actually accepted into a college or university. Luckily, community colleges are an affordable option for anyone to take college courses. In fact, community colleges offer many programs four year college and universities offer through online programs. These programs give students the opportunity to obtain their degree without having the stressors of a large campus.
