Women’s Health Clinic Preterm Hosts Evening on Tackling the Student Debt Problem

Mon 9/25 @ 6-8PM

A few decades ago, college students could pay for school by working summers and 15 or 20 hours a week during the school year. Those days are long gone.

The student debt crisis has been growing in magnitude for years, causing young people to postpone home ownership, marriage, starting a family, launching a business or taking satisfying but perhaps lower paying employment such as teaching or social work. And that has repercussions for the whole economy.

687,000 Ohioans owe more than $19 billion in federal student loan debt, and Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos is proposing rules to make student debt more onerous and take protections away from those who owe (Seriously, isn’t she just terrible on everything?)

So the next monthly community outreach program at women’s health clinic Preterm should be of interest to young people of all genders (and sadly, given the length of student loan repayment, some not-so-young). “Drowning in Student Debt” will feature Daniel Ortiz from Policy Matters Ohio, who will talk about the Student Debt Liberation Campaign. He’ll talk about what you can do to avoid being buried in loan debt and what you can do to avoid traps set by loan service providers and proprietary, or for-profit, schools.

It’s free and open to all.
