Join us for the Spring 2025 Sussman Lecture: Students are Humans First with Dr. Sara Goldrick-Rab!
About this Event

The Harkin Institute is thrilled to announce this Spring’s Sussman Lecture, “Students Are Humans First” with Dr. Sara Goldrick-Rab has been rescheduled for Thursday, February 20, 2025. Dr. Goldrick-Rab will discuss the challenges students face in meeting their basic needs while earning a college education. She explored this topic in her award-winning book, Paying the Price: College Costs, Financial Aid, and the Betrayal of the American Dream. The book documents the failures of policymakers and higher education institutions to make college affordable. Her scientific studies identifying and addressing college students’ basic needs for food, housing, childcare, transportation, and health supports sparked the internationally-known #RealCollege movement and inspired federal and state data collection and legislation, as well as countless privately-funded programs.

About the speaker: Dr. Sara Goldrick-Rab is the author of Paying the Price, College Costs, Financial Aid, and the Betrayal of the American Dream, senior fellow at Education Northwest, adjunct professor at the Community College of Philadelphia, and Founder of The Hope Center for College, Community, and Justice.

About the Sussman Lecture Series: The Sussman Lecture Series hosts a notable public policy figure to discuss topical current events with a small audience. The series was established by the late Richard Sussman (AS'51), in memory of his late wife Lila. Tickets are required and seating is limited to provide an intimate experience for attendees.


Accommodations: American Sign Language (ASL) and live captioning (CART) will be provided for in-person and virtual attendees. Any additional accommodation requests can be made by emailing harkininstitute@drake.edu.
