 Students and parents will join the Campaign for College Affordability to urge Congress to pass legislation that cuts interest rates on student loans in half as soon as possible at a news conference on Capitol Hill on Thursday. The news conference is part of a national day of action on dozens of college campuses and in communities across the country to promote college affordability as a key issue for the new Congress.
Dozens of students will lobby their Members of Congress following the news conference.
