On the recordMay 12, 2010
I want to express my support of the America COMPETES Act, and in its commitment to investing in quality math and science education. Strong investments in STEM fields are essential to the future success of our nation, both in our commitment to quality education and America's continued leadership in science throughout the world. I particularly rise in strong support of the Davis Amendment for which I am a cosponsor; an amendment that envisions the increasingly important role that community colleges can and should play in the advancement of STEM education and STEM career training. Community colleges are an affordable and accessible educational vehicle. They provide high quality education and career training to a diverse population of students and serve the diverse needs of their communities. I strongly support the plan to build partnerships and grants to community colleges to improve educational opportunities for underserved communities, and to explore and expand the role of community colleges in STEM fields.
