During the legislature’s summer recess, I spent
most of the month of July meeting with my constituents - business leaders and other local
groups to discuss issues and legislation that
impacts them. In addition, I had the opportunity to visit with 12 exchange students from Tec Milenio University in Mexico and chat about the importance of higher education. We compared and contrasted the differences between their education experiences here in California
with those in Mexico.
The students came to Santa Clarita for two weeks to study at College of the Canyons, they also had the chance to visit City Hall and meet with local elected officials and community leaders. The main focus of the trip was
to establish a positive relationship with this important institution and to hopefully offer foreign exchange programs at College of the Canyon’s University Center in the future
