Lieutenant Governor John D. Cherry Jr., who is chairing the Commission, said
that Michigan’s economy is undergoing a structural shift that focuses
more on technology and knowledge-based jobs, making it crucial that citizens
continue their education beyond high school.
"Our need for strong backs is being replaced by our need for strong minds,"
Cherry said. "This Commission will focus on preparing students for college,
making sure they complete their degrees, and how we can maximize the impact
of a highly educated workforce on our economy."
