Cougar Interview - Assemblywoman Susan Bonilla '82

July 03, 2013

Assemblywoman Susan Bonilla ’82 (D-Concord) represents California’s 14th Assembly District. As chair of the Assembly Budget Subcommittee on Education Finance, she fought to minimize budget cuts to the Cal Grant program, a funding initiative that makes attending private universities a reality for many California students, including 18 percent of APU students. Bonilla’s efforts resulted in the passage of bills that increased funding for veterans, saved transitional kindergarten from elimination, and provided adequate training for teachers. Recently, the Association of Independent California Colleges and Universities (AICCU) named her Policy Maker of the Year for her work strengthening higher education in California. APU LIFE: Why is it important to invest in educational initiatives like Cal Grants? Bonilla: California must invest in higher education if we want to see economic growth.
