Honors Forum Lecture Series

Since 1982 guest lectures have been sponsored by the Maricopa County Community College District. It 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 Kappa and provides intellectually stimulating learning opportunities for academically outstanding students.

The 2012-2014 Honors Topic is The Culture of Competition. Mesa Community College Honors students participate in the Lecture Series which brings them in close contact with distinguished lecturers from many fields of endeavor.
