We celebrate Presidents Day each February, and it gives us a chance to reflect on our country’s history and leaders. There has been a long tradition of higher education support and action from White House occupants. Almost all had higher education in their background, and many initiated or supported expanded opportunities for education and research before, during, or after their time in office. I like historical trivia, so here are some presidential facts you may not know, along with some lesser known features of 529 college savings plans. Pay attention—there’s a quiz at the end.
