The Senate tonight passed a resolution from Sen. Chuck Grassley and Sen. Joni Ernst “congratulating the community colleges of Iowa for 50 years of outstanding service to the State of Iowa, the United States, and the world.” Grassley made the following comment on the resolution, which lists each community college, dating from 1966.   

“Iowa’s community colleges have the flexibility to adapt to the needs of local students and local employers.  I’m always impressed when I learn of a unique partnership between a community college and a local business born out of a local need.  This is possible only because Iowa’s community colleges are so deeply rooted in their communities. They deserve recognition on 50 years of service and many more to come.”
