Weber State University and other Utah colleges, however, do have these facilities. I would like my legislator to propose a program that would allow high school students to utilize these facilities and take advantage of the potential opportunities. This type of program would not cost the colleges much money. Also, students who are exposed to college in this way are more likely to enroll in college full time and pursue a higher education of some sort after they graduate from high school. I agree with Roderick Paige, the U.S. Secretary of Education, who said that an increase in a local college's community involvement benefits everyone and eventually leads to fewer students needing remedial classes at college.
Education is critical to our nation's future.
We must not and we cannot stop until we have remedied all of our problems.
