The Attainment Challenge in NW Arizona: Higher Education Strategic View Raymond Van der Riet Director, ASU@Lake Havasu Campus
Why should we care about this? • Research by College Success Arizona indicates that if Arizona met the 60 percent attainment goal, it would pump an additional $3.5 billion in personal income and tax revenue into the state annually. • When aligned with future labor needs, increasing educational attainment across all levels can provide $7.6 billion in economic and social gains. • To reach 60 percent postsecondary attainment in Arizona, we need 1,000,000 more Arizonans to earn credentials and degrees by 2030.
