  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize and applaud Red 
Rocks Community College for their dedication and commitment to 
Jefferson County and higher education.
   Red Rocks Community College, with campuses in Lakewood and Arvada, 
offers more than 150 programs and 650 courses leading to two-year 
degrees or professional certificates. Since 1969, Red Rocks Community 
College has delivered a quality education to an eclectic mix of 
students of all ages, incomes and backgrounds. Serving 14,000 students 
each year, Red Rocks is the convenient community college down the 
street and a program that is worth traveling halfway around the world.
   Red Rocks is also expanding its campus in Arvada for Health Careers, 
Technologies, and

Science program expansion. The expansion is estimated to be completed 
in late 2016 and will allow Red Rocks to respond to the growing 
workforce needs in the community.
   I extend my deepest congratulations to Red Rocks Community College 
for their well-deserved Genesis Award and their economic contributions 
and leadership within and outside of Jefferson County.
