ROANOKE, Va. (WDBJ) – The first ever ‘Finish Your Degree Day’ is scheduled for August 6, 2025.
The day is designed to encourage the more than 40 million American stop-outs… adults who started college but did not finish… to return to the classroom, according to StraighterLine, a college course provider.
“I’m incredibly proud that this campaign will help so many people finish their degrees, many of whom stopped out of college for no fault of their own,” said StraighterLine CEO Matt Hulett. “At StraighterLine, we want to help people write the next chapter of their success story, especially given the fact that college graduation is still the single greatest accelerator of wage growth. This campaign has the real opportunity to reignite learners’ potential and bring hope to those who may feel that completing college is out-of-reach.”…
