                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 29, 2014

  Mr. BARR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Bluegrass 
Community and Technical College, located in Lexington, Kentucky, on the 
celebration of its 75th anniversary.
  Since its establishment 75 years ago, the Bluegrass Community and 
Technical College (BCTC) has set an example of excellence for central 
Kentucky and provided Kentucky's youth with strong higher education 
programs.
  As the largest two-year institution in the State, BCTC offers 
daytime, evening and weekend classes at six convenient locations and 
online. With more than 11,500 students, BCTC has recently expanded to 
its third campus in Lexington--the Newtown campus--to accommodate its 
continued growth. The Bluegrass Community and Technical College is 
specifically designed to promote the advancement of academic 
achievements in young people. The BCTC education encourages students to 
achieve success at their own pace and to explore various technical 
programs to help further their careers.
  BCTC's recent expansion is a testament to its continued success in 
the educational community and the positive impact it is making on 
students and employers across our Commonwealth. I commend BCTC for its 
dedication to education and community outreach, and I know that its 
varied educational services will continue to serve the people of our 
great district for years to come.
