RECOGNIZING BAKERSFIELD COLLEGE
______
HON. DAVID G. VALADAO
of california
in the house of representatives
Friday, November 12, 2021
Mr. VALADAO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Bakersfield College for their incredible work and commitment to higher education.
Bakersfield College is a vital institution in our community. The staff, students, and faculty of this school are completely dedicated to quality education and are a model to all of us in California's Central Valley.
This year, Bakersfield College has once again received statewide recognition for their commitment to excellence by being awarded the Champion of Higher Education by the Campaign for College Opportunity. This award recognizes Bakersfield College for their creative work to advance educational success among their students, many of whom are first generation Americans.
This is the fourth consecutive year that Bakersfield College will be receiving recognition as a Champion of Higher Education. Winning this award year after year demonstrates their commitment to creative solutions that help students grow academically, as well as reduce barriers to entry.
Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing the incredible work of both the students and faculty of Bakersfield College. They are a vital part of our community, and I wish them continued success in their enduring pursuit to provide high-quality education opportunities to our community.
