Episode 9: Committee Spotlight: Joint Committee on Higher education

In this episode of Legislative Lens: People and Policy, State Representative Michelle Badger spotlights the Joint Committee on Higher Education. She speaks with Chair Dave Rogers about the major issues shaping colleges and universities across Massachusetts — from affordability to campus infrastructure and key legislation like the Bright Act.  Rep. Badger then brings the conversation home with Massasoit Community College President Bill Mitchell, who discusses the rollout of free community college, student needs, workforce training, and what growing state investment means on the ground.   Together, these conversations connect State House policy to real student experiences and the future of higher education in the 1st Plymouth District.     The Local Seen by Plymouth Area Community Access Television welcomes residents of Plymouth, Pembroke, Kingston, and Duxbury into our studio to produce their own show, podcast, or special to air on our community and YouTube channel.
