  Mr. SMITH of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Jefferson 
College in Hillsboro, Missouri on its 60th anniversary.
  Founded in 1963, the college provides post-secondary education at its 
campuses in Imperial, Arnold, and Hillsboro, as well as online. 
Jefferson College offers customized business and industry training, 
continuing education courses and technical career programs. The college 
has adapted to the times, working to adjust its educational 
opportunities as changes occur in the needs of the workplace.
  More than 27,000 students of all ages have graduated from Jefferson 
College in its first 60

years. Many have gone on to become community and business leaders, 
educators, healthcare and technical professionals or law enforcement 
officers.
  The university is led by Dr. Dena McCaffrey, its 8th president and 
under her leadership, JeffCo is poised to continue its successful 
educational mission through the next 60 years. It is my great pleasure 
to congratulate Jefferson College on this milestone today before the 
United States House of Representatives.
