“I see the power of community colleges in my classroom every day. They meet students where they are with flexible schedules, so students don’t have to choose between work and school. They train for jobs, tailored to the communities they serve or give students a strong foundation for a four-year degree. And they don’t just improve individuals’ lives, they strengthen our country as a whole. What starts in one classroom can create a chain effect that is eventually felt by every single American.”
