Dr. Charlene Dukes Speaks with PGCTV about President Obama's Plans for the "American College Promise"

Dr. Charlene Dukes, president of Prince George's Community College in Largo, MD, took some time to speak with Patty Villome, a reporter from PGTV. In light of President Barack Obama's recent announcement about FREE tuition for community college students, many state and local leaders--as well as higher education influencers--have weighed in on the pros and cons of the impending proposal. How the proposed plan and national initiative will impact Maryland community colleges, as well as two and four-year institutions across the nation has been a hot-button issue this week.
