About the Metropolitan Education Commission
The Metropolitan Education Commission (MEC), composed of 34 Citizen Commissioners, advises, makes recommendations and serves as an advocate in
all areas as they affect the educational welfare of Tucson and Pima County. MEC’s goals include:
- To empower and advocate for students, their teachers, and and their families
- To acknowledge individuals and groups within the community whose exemplary service to students and to education merits such special recognition
- To promote graduation from high school as a first step toward an enriched future for students and a realistic sense of their place within the community.

On January 16, 2008, the MEC launched the first Regional College Access Center in Arizona! We are an information and referral center designed to serve Tucson and Pima County students and parents, with a special outreach to students from low-income households or who are the first in their family to attend post secondary education programs.
The Center offers a free online College Tool Kit at www.metedu.org/rcac, with local and national information about colleges, careers, scholarships, financial aid, and academic resources.
One-on-one assistance is available in English and Spanish consisting of computer searches and individual planning. Come visit us at 10 E. Broadway, Suite 10, call 520-670-0055 or visit our website for more information. Don't delay...access your future today!
