Problems with student debt are creeping into every aspect of economic life. In this panel, we will hear how three industries are feeling the pinch.

2:40- 3:50 pm Minimizing the Risk of Borrowing for Education (Revere Hotel, Theater One)
For certain populations of students, mounting debt increases the risk of even attempting higher education. For many, trying and failing is more costly than not trying in the first place. How do we minimize that risk so that we can encourage all to try the appropriate form of higher education and fulfill our goal of having the most highly educated citizenry? Does it take a changed Pell grant model? A focus on completion? We will look at these and other topics as we explore how to best minimize the risk of borrowing for higher education.
Moderator: Jillian Berman Reporter, MarketWatch
Panelists:
Beth Akers Fellow, Brown Center on Education Policy,
Brookings Institution
Jesse O’Connell Strategic Officer, Lumina Foundation

8:45-10:00 am Encouraging the Right Level of Borrowing with the Help of College Savings Plans
(Revere Hotel, Theater One)
One means of limiting the amount borrowed for college is to ensure families are financially prepared to meet the burden of college tuition by saving for college. We will hear from industry experts in the field to talk about the benefits and obstacles of college savings, college savings matching programs, and 529 programs.

8:45- 10:00 am Borrowing More Wisely and Choosing the Right Financial Fit (Revere Hotel, Space 57)
The purchase of a higher education is fundamentally a consumer choice. While emotional decisions are often made in the college planning process, students and families must learn to choose a school that is the right financial fit as well as the right academic and social fit. This panel will focus on making sure students and families have a better foundation in financial education in order to make the complex decisions they must make when entering higher education, and how we can instill in students the idea of making higher education a consumer rather than an emotional choice.
Panelists:
Nan Morrison President and CEO, Council for Economic Education
John Hupalo Founder & CEO, Invite Education
10:00-10-:15am Break
10:15am Changing College Delivery Models to Lessen Amounts Borrowed (Revere Hotel, Theater One)
The traditional model of a two or four-year higher education is increasingly being thrown out for new models that offer increased flexibility and decreased cost. How do these models work? Who do they best serve? And what are traditional schools doing to meet the increased desire for more flexibility and lower costs? We will hear from a non-profit offering all their courses online, a traditional college offering greater flexibility, and a school offering both online and a traditional class setting.
Panelists:
Andrew Renshaw Coordinator of Dual Enrollment and Off-Campus Programs Piedmont Virginia Community College
Scott Pulsipher President, Western Governor’s University
Kristine Clerkin Executive Director, College for America
Southern New Hampshire University

1:30-2:45 pm Managing Debt by Changing Who Pays: A Look at the Employer Loan Repayment
(Revere Hotel, Theater One)
Employers are the primary beneficiaries of a college educated population, so should they play a more active role in helping their young employees manage their student loans? Thanks to a tax benefit, many employers offer tuition reimbursement that will allow employees to further their education. Employers would benefit, and retain employees, by helping employees pay the student loans that enabled them to get that great job in the first place. There is a growing interest in supplying student loan assistance as an employee benefit. We will hear from experts explaining how the benefit works, why companies should adopt such a program, and the political outlook for incenting employers to supply the benefit with the help of tax credits.
Moderator: Deirdre Fernandes, Reporter, Boston Globe
Panelists:
Tony Aguilar Founder and CEO, Student Loan Genius
Theresa Schnelle VP, HR Operations, Lockton Companies
Mindy Hager PricewaterhouseCooper
1:30- 2:45pm Managing Debt by Changing How We Pay
(Revere Hotel, Space 57)
Are there ways of shifting the burden of higher education financing off of the student? Increasing grant aid and making college free or debt free are all ideas getting traction. In addition, a number of policy makers, schools and entrepreneurs have proposed the idea of Income Share Agreements, in which a student agrees to pay a percentage of future income to an investor in exchange for college expenses. We will look at the pros and cons of this model of helping borrowers manage their growing debt.
Panelists:
David Bergeron Senior Fellow for Postsecondary Education,
Center for American Progress
Michael Stynes Executive Director, Jain Family Institute
2:45-3:00 Break
3:00 pm How Are Schools Helping Their Students Lower Debt and Manage it Better?
(Revere Hotel, Theater One)
Higher education institutions are being scrutinized like never before on their students’ debt levels and repayment outcomes. Many are stepping up to help students make smarter student debt decisions from freshman year to graduation and beyond. We will hear from schools making a commitment to help their students with student debt.
Panelists:
Bob Collins Vice President, Financial Aid
Western Governors University
Eileen O’Leary Assistance VP, Student Financial Assistance
