                     RECOGNIZING JEFFERSON COLLEGE

 Mr. SCHMITT. Mr. President, I rise today to honor Jefferson 
College in Hillsboro, MO, for 60 years of academic excellence and 
accomplishment.
  Founded in 1963, Jefferson College is the ``Jewel of Jefferson 
County.'' The college has contributed to the development and progress 
of Jefferson County and the surrounding region, equipping thousands of 
students each year with the tools to be successful in a variety of 
academic disciplines. The college's programs are instrumental in 
raising up the next generation of teachers, police officers, nurses, 
and citizens. The college remains devoted to providing high-quality 
academics at an affordable price, making it a great option for students 
in any stage of life. Communities are built upon the collaboration of 
men and women who have been properly trained in their designated 
fields, and Jefferson College continues to assemble communities of 
qualified workers and strengthen Missouri as a whole.
  I ask my Senate colleagues to join me in recognizing Jefferson 
College's diamond anniversary, 60 years of scholarship. I hope all my 
colleagues will join me in celebrating the important work being done at 
Jefferson College and all the work it will accomplish in the 
future.
