Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
It’s a debate that’s been simmering for decades in D.C. — how should the city serve students looking for a community college education? For years, the University of the District of Columbia has served both two- and four-year students. But a new report recommends that the city rethink that approach. We look at the findings and discuss how a stand-alone community college would affect the District’s economy.
