On a recent October evening at the Humphrey School of Public Affairs, a historic first unfolded: a student-led mayoral forum that brought together civic leaders, public policy students, and community members under one roof—and one mission.

The goal was simple, but ambitious.
PASA President Natalia Uro-De León (MURP ‘26) told the near-capacity audience about the event's objective.
