Jill Biden makes stop in state as part of college study

Jill Biden, the wife of Vice President Joe Biden, sat down with community college and university administrators in Tempe on Friday to listen and learn about the Maricopa-ASU Pathways Program, or MAPP, which helps students make easier transitions from the Maricopa Community College system to the University.

Biden’s visit was part of a fact-finding mission assigned to her by President Barack Obama.

This fall, the second lady will host a national summit at the White House, where business leaders, college presidents and teachers will come together to share ideas and offer insight into what Biden calls “one of the best-kept secrets of higher education”– community college.
