                        Thursday, April 16, 2015

  Mr. SWALWELL of California. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize 
and honor the accomplishments of Las Positas College in Livermore, 
California.
  Las Positas has been serving residents of the Tri-Valley with quality 
educational and vocational training for the past forty years.
  Las Positas serves 8,500 students from all walks of life. Their 
dedication to training and educating all those that seek to better 
themselves, from recent high school graduates to veterans to mid-career 
professionals, is second to none.
  In the heart of one of America's fastest growing business and 
residential regions, Las Positas College has been a staple for higher 
education and skill development for decades. The college provides the 
local rapidly growing technological, science, and business industries 
with the trained personnel they need to be successful.
  Las Positas' slogan is ``Students First,'' an ideal mantra that all 
institutions of higher education should follow. It exemplifies the 
goals of providing an excellent, equitable, and complete education.
  On this day we recognize Las Positas College as being one of the 
premier educational institutions in the California Community College 
System for the past forty years and I urge my colleagues to join me in 
wishing them continued success in the future.
