           50TH ANNIVERSARY OF FRONT RANGE COMMUNITY COLLEGE

  (Mr. POLIS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. POLIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise in recognition of the 50th anniversary 
of Front Range Community College in Colorado, which I am proud to 
represent.
  The college first opened in 1968 with only 2,000 students enrolled in 
a few programs. Today, they have campuses in Fort Collins, Westminster, 
Longmont, and Brighton--28,000 students, over 160 degree and 
certificate programs.
  Over the years, FRCC has seen continual enrollment increases, serving 
even more students. Go, Wolves.
  During my time in Congress, I have worked with FRCC to reduce the 
cost of textbooks, expand access to dual and concurrent enrollment 
programs with our school districts, support career and technical 
education, and ensure students who have obtained credits are able to 
get their associate's degree.
  We recognize the hard work and perseverance of the students and the 
staff at Front Range Community College as we celebrate the 50th 
birthday of Front Range Community College and how it has helped 
transform people's lives and communities across Colorado.
  For 50 years, Front Range Community College has fostered successful 
lives and strong futures for everybody. Congratulations and happy 
birthday, FRCC.
