I just wanted to share a little bit about our trip with everyone. Yesterday the conference opened and we’ve heard from representatives at the National Science Foundation and the American Association of Community Colleges. The best part of yesterday was our night tour of the Capitol with Representative Bruce Westerman. It was a truly amazing experience. We walked onto the Senate Floor and the House Floor. Congressman Westerman and Representative Jason Smith from Missouri shared many amazing facts and stories with us. There were several areas that we were not allowed to take pictures, but I’m sure it’s something we’ll never forget.
