                 RECOGNIZING MUSKEGON COMMUNITY COLLEGE

  (Mr. HUIZENGA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HUIZENGA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Muskegon 
Community College, a national leader in 2-year higher education 
institutions.
  MCC, located in Muskegon, Michigan, offers classes at state-of-the-
art facilities throughout the west Michigan region.
  Under the leadership of my friend President Dale Nesbary, the 
students, faculty, and staff have all collaborated to reach great 
heights. As a result of these efforts, MCC was recently ranked the top 
2-year college in the State of Michigan.
  MCC has excelled, in part, by emphasizing academic achievement, 
investing in high-quality facilities, and developing apprenticeship 
training programs. Last year, graduates of the nursing program ranked 
first in the country on the registered nursing licensing exam, 
achieving a 100 percent first-time pass rate.
  Currently, MCC is seeking to build on its success by investing in the 
most significant facilities upgrades in its history.
  Through its unique apprentice training program, students work to earn 
a skills trade certificate, with the option to complete further classes 
to achieve an associate's degree.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to please join me in honoring 
Muskegon Community College as they continue to raise the bar and 
provide high-quality educational opportunities for students in Muskegon 
County and all across west Michigan.
