Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 100th anniversary of Riverside City College, one of the oldest and most respected community colleges in California. Since 1916, RCC has provided thousands of students with an engaging and affordable educational experience that prepares them for successful careers. The college boasts of many great alumni who have gone on to lead remarkable lives, but the one I admire most is my father. He attended RCC to build up credits for a degree in business administration, and with that degree he was able to earn a good-paying job that secured my family's place in the middle class. I was honored to serve on RCC's board of trustees for 22 years, and I take pride in what the school continues to do for thousands of students every year. Congratulations to Riverside City College on your centennial. Thank you for the incredible impact you have had on our community. ____________________
