  Mr. SHIMKUS. Mr. Speaker, I rise before you today to recognize 
Kaskaskia College as part of April's national Community College Month.
  Kaskaskia College provides high quality and affordable services to 
over 7,000 students every year. Students can receive distinguished 
Associate Degrees and skilled labor training to propel themselves 
forward in higher education and the work force.
  Kaskaskia College has doubled down on their mission to provide the 
most competitive education and technical training. KC has expanded 
access to their services through online programs, dual-credit courses, 
and six educational centers that complement their main campus. The 
services KC provides have become vital to the economic and educational 
growth in the communities it serves.
  Mr. Speaker, I wish to send my congratulations to Kaskaskia College's 
faculty, staff, and Board of Trustees for their continued success and 
dedication to their mission.
