                       Thursday, October 12, 2017

  Mr. SCHNEIDER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Waukegan 
to College (W2C) Program for its recent selection as an exemplary 
organization for promoting Latino success in higher education by 
Excelencia in Education.
   This is a true honor, and the staff, volunteers, students, and 
families of Waukegan to College should be very proud.
   Waukegan to College demonstrates how community support, resources, 
and encouragement can help students achieve their dreams of attending 
and graduating college.
   Through services such as tutoring, mentoring, college and 
scholarship application coaching, and advising sessions that include 
parents, Waukegan to College equips students with the tools they need 
to succeed not just in higher education, but in life.
   This prestigious award is a testament to their commitment to the 
youth of Waukegan. The time, effort and energy that they invest in this 
program do not go unnoticed--and sets a national example of the impact 
that a community-based organization can make.
   I congratulate the team at Waukegan to College on this impressive 
accomplishment, and thank them for all they do to make a difference in 
the lives of our youth.
