Thanks to #MesaAZ , @MayorGiles for inviting me to help announce the expansion of the Mesa College Promise program to include adults at Mesa Community College! Google with a nice seed investment. More like this are needed to reach our #Achieve60AZ goal. ktar.com/story/5565589/…

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

Starting off #NCANHillDay with a stop at Longworth House Office Building to meet with education staff for @RepRubenGallego to discuss #FAFSA and how we double #PellGrants by the end of the decade. When Pell grants started they covered ~75% of coats, and now it’s only ~33%.

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

Nearly half of Arizona's K-12 students are of Hispanic descent. Their success is Arizona's success. When Latino students thrive, our entire state benefits. By supporting education in AZ, we're investing in a brighter future for all. #HHM  #EverythingToGain

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
