Congresswoman hears from PCC students, leaders

Student voices don't fall upon deaf ears.

Future Connect students at Portland Community College, PCC leaders and high school students interning at the City of Hillsboro greeted U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, a Beaverton Democrat, at the Hillsboro Civic Center on Monday, Aug. 5.

Bonamici heard from students about their experiences with PCC and city programs, who spoke about how those initiatives work to increase opportunity and economic mobility for local students — low-income students and students of color in particular.
