Simon Youth Foundation President and CEO J. Michael Durnil, Ph.D., was a featured guest on Inside INdiana Business with Gerry Dick for the week of August 21, 2011.The program, which is broadcast on a network of 15 local affiliate television stations, is Indiana's only statewide business news program. During his interview, Durnil explained that students who dropout of high school will earn nearly $300,000 less over their lifetime and are twice as likely to be unemployed.
"If business is about the bottom line then there is incentive for businesses to invest so that these students have the resources and programs necessary to graduate and become a strong citizenry for the local community," Durnil said.
