 Youth Town Hall on Higher Education
April 10, 2013  

The Arizona Town Hall, in partnership with Maricopa Community Colleges and other organizations, has scheduled a Youth Town Hall on Higher Education. Statewide student leaders from across Arizona will gathered to discuss this important topic using the Town Hall's model of civil discourse. This will be a unique opportunity for university, college and even high school students to gather and craft solutions that will impact Arizona.  


The ideas that come out of the Youth Town Hall are shared with all of those participating in the conversation being held in late April in Tucson.

 

Opening comments will be given by Maricopa Community Colleges Chancellor, Rufus Glasper and Arizona Board of Regents President, Eileen Klein.
