  Mr. TIPTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize James Vasquez and 
Chris Weaver for their accomplishments at Pueblo Community College. 
Both were awarded Rising Star Awards, which are given to students 
demonstrating leadership and academic excellence.
  Mr. Vasquez is president of the Pueblo Community College associated 
student government, and participates in a number of other 
extracurricular activities. Most notably, he led the school's 
Thanksgiving food drive, which helped 206 students in need. During that 
semester he also maintained a 3.2 GPA as a single parent.
  Mr. Weaver also held an exemplary GPA and served as vice-president of 
the associated student government, under Mr. Vasquez. He also 
represents the school government at the State Student Advisory Council 
and was named the board's legislative liaison to the Colorado 
Commission on Higher Education.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to recognize James Vasquez and Chris Weaver 
for their accomplishments in higher education. There is no doubt they 
will continue to be leaders in their communities.
