Student loan debt has gained the attention of both the public and policymakers because of its rapid increase over the last decade. This webinar will discuss the Kansas City Fed's new student loan debt research and its relevance to issues of both policy and practice confronting students, their families and others concerned about access to higher education.

Recent Kansas City Fed research provides an overview of the student loan market, presents new statistics that highlight student loan debt burdens and delinquency rates, and discusses current concerns among many Americans about student loans, including their fiscal impact.

Webinar participants include:

• Kelly Edmiston, senior economist at the Kansas City Fed. Read Edmiston's paper: "Student Loans: Overviews and Issues." 
• Michelle Asha Cooper, president of the Institute for Higher Education Policy
