“A story about building America’s future: community colleges enroll almost half of this country’s undergraduates but a recent survey shows that less than half of those student earn the diploma they set out for, business leaders and politicians say that is crippling America’s competitiveness from member station WBUR in Boston Curt Nickisch reports.”

This story is about you! Community college students, students wanting workforce training, companies who want to recruit from community colleges, and most importantly how all of these pieces fit together. Completing your degree matters. Finishing any project or commitment matters. Doing what you say you will do, matters. We all have tough undertakings and need each other to help make our way thorough.

Congratulations to those students who completed and will go through graduation ceremonies on Saturday!!
