  Mr. KEVIN HERN of Oklahoma. Madam Speaker, Tulsa Community College 
celebrated 50 years in the Tulsa community this September.
  In 1970, Tulsa Junior College opened, helping educate workers to fill 
the expanding Tulsa aerospace industry.
  Their first class consisted of 2,796 students, 50 classrooms, and 
over 150 instructors. Today, Tulsa Community College enrolls about 
17,000 students per semester and has over 800 full and part-time 
faculty members.
  TCC has served nearly 450,000 students and awarded more than 70,000 
degrees and certificates over the last 50 years.
  No matter your background, goals, or schedule, students at TCC have 
found an accessible and affordable education.
  Congratulations to TCC on an incredible 50 years in our community. 
I'm looking forward to 50 more.
