The Building a Grad Nation Summit is a crucial element of the Grad Nation Campaign, the movement to end the high school dropout crisis by 2020 and to prepare young people for success in college and career. It is the leading national forum for understanding the realities facing our young people, for measuring progress, and for focusing efforts where they're needed most. The Summit brings together national, state and local leaders in business, education, academia, philanthropy, civic engagement, media and public policy to raise awareness and align efforts for greatest impact. This marketplace for solutions will send you back to your networks and communities with new ideas, new connections and a new impetus for action.
