A Wednesday, Oct. 23 Chandler Chamber of Commerce event will focus on Grand Canyon University programs new to the East Valley.

Brian Mueller, the president of the university, will be one of the featured speakers at the Chamber Education Forum, set to run from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. at SoHo63, 63 E. Boston Street in Downtown Chandler.
