This year, the Honors Forum Lecture Series brings four distinguished national and local speakers to the stage to engage students and community members in thought-provoking discussions about current topics that impact Maricopa Community College students and the local and global community.

The evening lectures, free and open to the public, are held on Wednesdays from 7 to 8 p.m. at Phoenix College Bulpitt Auditorium, 1202 W. Thomas Rd., Phoenix, AZ 85013.

Erika Andiola, Wed., Feb. 15, 2017

Despite losing her scholarships due to her undocumented status, Andiola graduated from ASU with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology. Andiola still aspires to work as a school counselor one day – after helping to pass the DREAM Act. Andiola became involved with Promise Arizona, a grassroots civic engagement organization with a mission to recruit, train and support a new generation of leaders from across the state and register Latinos to vote. She is the co-founder of the Dream Action Coalition and the Arizona DREAM Act Coalition, and a former congressional staffer for Congresswoman Kyrsten Sinema.
