     HONORING JOLIET JUNIOR COLLEGE'S TUTORING AND LEARNING CENTER

                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 17, 2014

  Mr. FOSTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the ribbon cutting 
of Joliet Junior College's Tutoring and Learning Center in Joliet, 
Illinois.
  Joliet Junior College was the first public community college in the 
nation, and since its founding in 1901 it has provided students with 
excellent educational opportunities. This tradition will continue with 
the opening of the Tutoring and Learning Center.
  The Tutoring and Learning Center will provide students with free 
access to tutoring services such as drop-in math assistance, 
presentation training, online tutoring, and writing assistance, all 
under one roof. These services will give Joliet Junior College students 
the skills they need to succeed not only in their education, but after 
graduation as well.
  Again, I would like to congratulate Joliet Junior College on the 
opening of the Tutoring and Learning Center and thank the college for 
its hard work on behalf of our students.
