One of the highlights of my role at Education Forward Arizona is meeting, supporting, and eventually learning from first generation #AZ students! #firstgenday


Always enjoy my time in #Tucson supporting education and especially #teachers who go above and beyond every day! Education Forward Arizona was thrilled to support TucsonValuesTeachers at their annual Stand Up 4 Teachers event. How inspiring!

Maricopa Community Colleges are one of the most important economic engines in #AZ & are poised to lead in important attainment drivers like #DualEnrollment & other early college opportunities. Maricopa Community Colleges enrolls nearly 26,833 high schoolers azcentral.com/story/sponsor-…

Now is the time to act. Arizonans accross parties, incomes & ideologies believe that the state should be doing more to increase opportunities & our attainment rate. Education Forward Arizona is ready to help education, business, & civic leaders come together to craft an #AZ attainment plan.



Here we go! Advocating in D.C. for #AZ students from low-income backgrounds. Education Forward Arizona like National College Attainment Network (NCAN) believes everyone, regardless of race, ethnicity, or socioeconomics, should have opportunity to complete affordable, high-quality education after high school! #NCANHillDay



Walking into the office of Senator Mark Kelly … definitely wins best first impression award! He and his staff also are super supportive of funding #PellGrants so students from low income backgrounds have postsecondary opportunities! #NCANHillDay


Had a great time celebrating last night with our Education Forward Arizona senior #team & the nominees for the Greater Phoenix Chamber Impact Awards! Thanks to the partners who nominated us. We didn’t become finalists, but we’re so proud to be included in this great group of impactful organizations!



It’s been a morning full of collaboration & insights at the Helios Education Foundation campus for the #AZFAFSASummit!

AZ's future depends on #highered + workforce attainment. We’re falling short of the Achieve60AZ goal. CEO Rich Nickel & Board Chair John Fees explain how investments in education & workforce training can drive $5B+ in economic gains annually. bit.ly/4g8yvhK
