Recognizing the significance of "Community College Month" in April 2025 as a celebration of the more than 1,000 community colleges throughout the United States that support access to higher education, workforce training, and more, and broadly sustain and advance the economic prosperity of the United States.

HRES 340 is a ceremonial resolution recognizing April 2025 as "Community College Month" to celebrate the role of over 1,000 U.S. community colleges. It highlights these institutions' work in providing affordable higher education, workforce training, and economic support - serving 10.2 million students annually and contributing significantly to national economic growth (e.g., generating $898 billion in alumni income in 2020). The resolution emphasizes community colleges' accessibility (average $3,990 tuition for in-district students, 10-mile average student commute) and their role in workforce development across sectors like healthcare and manufacturing. As a non-binding recognition, it does not create new laws or funding.
