Congresswoman Adams Applauds President Obama’s Commitment to Community Colleges
WASHINGTON, DC— Congresswoman Alma Adams (NC-12) today made the following statement on President Obama's proposed America's College Promise program that would make 2 years of community college free for any student willing to work for it:
"I applaud the President's commitment to community colleges and recognizing the need for post-secondary education. As an educator, I know all too well the significant benefit that comes to students who receive a college education. Programs like the President's proposal would address the great need of work force development and the high unemployment rate that exists in my congressional district. It also highlights the great impact that community colleges have in our communities. Again, I applaud the President for beginning this dialogue and look forward to continuing this conversation with my Republican and Democratic colleagues in the House to provide students more access to a college education."
