Thank you, @SenBobCasey. We enjoyed the opportunity to share more about the Inside/Out Program and the extraordinary impact this new federal funding will have for our community.
.@Muhlenberg College’s Inside/Out Prison Exchange Program gives incarcerated individuals a pathway to secondary education. I was honored to secure funding for the project and hear from students currently benefitting from it.
Many thanks to @SenBobCasey for his efforts to secure funding for @Muhlenberg and the Inside/Out Initiative led by Dr. Kate Richmond. Looking forward to the work ahead!

Ensuring that student loan forgiveness through the PSLF and SLRN programs is not considered taxable income removes one more barrier for Pennsylvanians who are working to make a difference in our communities.
We should be making easier for them to do their jobs, not harder.
At the core of Muhlenberg's liberal arts approach is a commitment to collaborative learning -- the kind that not only benefits the student and our institution, but also the community in which we belong.

As we celebrate the Inauguration of Kathleen Harring as the 13th President of @Muhlenberg, we are so grateful to have our elected officials join the celebration. Thank you for joining us!
Psaki says the Dept. of Education will soon unveil a "major overhaul" of the Public Sevice Loan Forgiveness program that "will restore the promise of the program to teachers, service members, nurses, firefighters, and others serving their communities and our country."
@mikeitzkowitz My broader problem with the 60 Minutes story is that they fail to look at the history of PSLF. When enacted, it was expected that very few borrowers would ever qualify. That was by design & not by accident. ED didn't design it. Congress did & knew what the impact would be. 1/3
