About The View From 55K Degrees

The View from 55,000 Degrees is a reflection on the multi-sector, community-wide effort started in 2010 to increase higher education attainment in Louisville.

Here, we will tell the stories of those lessons, and how that will inform what comes next in the work to increase postsecondary education attainment in our community.
