The U.S. Department of 成人直播鈥檚 annual back-to-school bus tour came to Louisville on Sept. 17, with stopping by UofL鈥檚 Belknap campus to take a tour and meet current and future Cardinal students.
The 鈥淩eady for Success鈥 tour events highlight the progress and achievements of educators, students, families and leaders in expanding opportunity for students throughout the nation. Duncan joined UofL and high school students for an on-campus roundtable discussion focused on the challenges young people face in pursuit of a college degree.
鈥淭he kids are inspiring,鈥 Duncan said. 鈥淛ust applying to college is a new, sometimes daunting experience, maybe a little overwhelming, but these kids I met with and took the tour with are really serious and passionate about getting a college education. It makes me very hopeful and it鈥檚 our job to provide as much financial aid as possible and be a good partner. These kids are the future of this city and the future of our nation, so it鈥檚 incumbent on all of us to help them get to where they want to go.鈥
