Honors Forum Lecture Series
The Honors Forum Lecture Series, guest lectures sponsored each academic year since 1982 by the Maricopa County Community College District, is one of many educational programs offered to the students, faculty, and the general public as a community service. The Honors Program is associated with Phi Theta Kapp. The 2008 - 2010 Honors Topic is "The Paradox of Affluence: Choices, Challenges. and Consequences". Mesa Community College Honors students participate in the Lecture Series which brings them into close contact with distinguished lecturers from many fields of endeavor.
December 2, 2009 Mesa Community College will have the privilege of hosting the Honors Forum Lecture speaker, Dr. Paul A. Elsner, here on campus at 7:00PM in the Kirk Students Center's Navajo Room.
