  Mr. DENT. Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to recognize the 50th 
Anniversary of Lehigh Carbon Community College (LCCC). LCCC was founded 
in 1966 and for 50 years it has delivered quality, affordable two-year 
degree course programs, certificate and specialized diploma programs to 
students from Lehigh, Carbon, Schuylkill and other counties.
  The College has an enrollment of over 7,100 students and offers more 
than 90 programs of study.
  The Lehigh Valley community has long recognized the outstanding asset 
we have in Lehigh Carbon Community College. The College gives students 
a great start for gaining the skills they'll need to find and succeed 
in decent, good-paying careers and provides the employers of the region 
with skilled and well-trained workers.
  Mr. Speaker, I warmly extend my congratulations to the students, 
faculty, employees, administrators and alumni of Lehigh Carbon 
Community College on the happy occasion of their Semicentennial. Thank 
you for providing the Lehigh Valley with diverse educational 
opportunities that provide a firm foundation for solid, fulfilling 
careers.
