Founding director. I helped you
when we founded that. I thought you were doing a good job there. I remember that. Those were tough days. If you want to explain a little bit about the program that you have, and I just want to say, when I was at the graduation of Bristol Community College, and you spoke, Dr. Harris, I was shocked when you said that you started out at a community college, and all the way to your doctorates. Good for you. It was inspirational. Well, good afternoon, or maybe good evening to the folks here. I'd like to thank
Linda, as well as the city council, for having us here today. It's really important what these young people have done, and having the opportunity to celebrate them once again is always a fabulous opportunity for us, as well as the founding folks who started the program. I'm just lucky enough to be the fifth president at Bristol, and it's an opportunity for me to share the wonderful things that these students have done. As Linda said, I did start my academic career as a community college student.
So, when I sit down and talk to some of these young folks, I tell them it's not just a community college. It's the beginning, and it's an opportunity for each and every person that walks through our doors to start their educational or their career path in a fabulous institution that gives them a promising start to wherever they want to go. To be able to provide the education and the workforce opportunities that we're offering is something fabulous for us. This Forver City Council public hearing will now be called to order.
