News Update: The Coalition

This past Tuesday, I attended the Washington State Access for Education Coalition meeting  at WSU Vancouver. Known more commonly as the coalition, the session provided a wealth of information about 1079 students.

I also had the pleasure of talking with two prominent Coalition members, Marcella Pattinson and Martín García. Both were extremely knowledgeable and passionate concerning the issues facing 1079 students.

The coalition was funded with aid from College Sparks and looks to provide information on statewide practices involving HB 1079. Additionally, members of the Coalition hope to act as a support system for 1079 Students.

Expect to see an in-depth blog article (blarticle? arti-blog?) early next week exploring the coalition and the purpose of such meetings.

Note: I will use blog postings such as this to provide informal 1079 updates in-between each “official” blog article.

Check out these links for a little extra info before the article next week:
