"Got Tuition?" visited students at St. Louis Community College at Meramec today, where 116 students and instructors signed the "Got Tuition?" petition asking federal and state elected leaders to make college education more affordable for more students and put on "Got Tuition?" t-shirts to raise awareness of college affordability as a national issue in 2008.
During the past two weeks, "Got Tuition?" has organized a series of eight "Day of Action" activities at six area colleges and universities -- including the University of Missouri at St Louis, Harris Stowe State University, Maryville University, Fontbonne University, and the St Louis Community College campuses at Florissant Valley and Meramec -- leading to tonight's Vice Presidential Debate at Washington University. A total of 687 students, instructors and parents have signed the "Got Tuition?" petition, and many of them also wore our distinctive black-and-white t-shirts to promote the issue and our campaign.
