In "Dollar Signs," University of Delaware student Grace Sweetman examined the crippling effect of student debt on the futures of young people. Grace is a 4+1 student pursuing B.A. degree in women and gender studies and communication and M.A. degree in strategic communication. Grace submitted her message for the Voices of UD 2022 audio essay contest for students, hosted by the University of Delaware's Center for Political Communication. The Voices of UD project is open for all to participate, but the annual contest is open to UD students only. Learn more at www.cpc.udel.edu/voices.
