Congressmen tackle student debt

Three members of Congress met with TCC students on South Campus Feb. 5 to focus on student concerns.

By opening the floor to questions and comments, U.S. Rep. Marc Veasey, whose district includes South Campus, along with Rep. Eric Swalwell of California and Rep. Ruben Gallego of Arizona addressed student debt, Veterans Affairs and immigration reform.

“Fields such as science, technology, engineering and mathematics are becoming the foundation of future employment,” Veasey said. “These educational opportunities provide the life skills necessary for our thriving global job market.”
