the chancellor to stand here and tell you this institution was here not only for the students but for the community we've served like as talked about did hospitality industry this this wonderful culinary arts served we have over 3 thousand courses we provide almost on a daily basis to students who want to do better who want to live a dream we create dreams for those who don't have them and create americans when they come to our shores as immigrant and teach them english but more importantly we teach them how to adapt and become part of this wonderful fabric of america city college is one of the most diverse institutions in the world i can't count the number of differences we embarrass in

this wonderful institution we are truly a microcame over of san francisco and what it does for our nation for the world and as a gateway economically and socially as we make change on a daily basis you're here at the downtown campus and here at fourth and mission you know we do special things as janice said we're getting ready to opec our first enterprise students will be selling they're back wares to the public and fund for this help to underwrite the program but also teach students how to assimilate in the with that when they become part of businesses part

of the best of the best things i get to do as chancellor get to boost by my faculty we have a wonderful faculties along with the students and staff and administrators i'd like to acknowledge our president virginia perez (clapping) it's her responsibility for the daily operations of our centers as well as the campus along with jessie lee our center dean (clapping) you know this is really probably the best job i've ever had and the best job because of you and because of the partners we have both with the mayor's office and the unified school district the university in the city and our elected officials with great

pride i get to introduce her again leader pelosi is just perhaps the stanch it best ally we've had and she's been doing it a loojt to help the institution not only to strive but the best of the best that's where we're headed we're strong and coincided and enforcing people today leader pelosi my pleasure (clapping.) >> thank you, very much. chancellor tyler for your tremendous leadership this must be the best job anyone would have because really you and your colleagues are doing most important work your investing in the future and helping young people reach their aspirations as well as growing our economy

and doing great nominations some of which is done directly by the students it's mites how were you to be associated with the city college san francisco very proud of the faculty yes of the students, and all the leadership and the community support that it has is that me? nope maybe it's some pieces going into the oven (laughter) i don't know or should i say is it i did is my honor to be here with mayor ed lee we're talking about the future of going forward but we have to acknowledge we had some challenges some bumps in the road and frankly without the mayors surely great leadership some in the forefront and some behind the sequence we

would and the best news of all that enrollment is where it is and has as the chancellor said higher than this time last year and growing for the students tomato it's important for the fund from the state a few principles i'd like that will be a l l e not al a few principles i'd like to support is one nomination begins in the classroom and when you see the innovative spirit of those young people learning and deliver on a product in a way that is entrepreneurial it is pretty tlifl when you see people that have spent a lifetime a generation of their time working in the private sector and coming here to teach those young people

how to go forward you see that nomination has gone from one generation to the next and so i salute you for the k3r0ir8 spirit and the culinary spirit this means a lot of things but it certainly is inviting and i can't wait to come back to enjoy a meal the second point nothing. nothing brings more known to the treasury local, state, and federal than the education of the american people whether it is early childhood k through 12 higher education or lifetime learning and all of those fields community college of san francisco has played a role

nothing bring more money to the treasurer so that's unfortunate he search warrant to have a debate in washington, d.c. about the importance of education anyone that says we need to cut education to reduce the deficit is talking about a false economy i am sure for every dollars spent for community college 54 a quarter is returned to the public do menu and to the economy so we must fight we have a fight on the way and the republican budget not to be bipartisan they've freesz peel grants for 10 years 10 years they've frozen peel grants for 10 years they've freesz the aspiration of

young people and people returning to school will even later in life the aspirations of returning that the aspiration of those who want to be the first responders the mix that brings to community college is talked about the diversity chancellor is not only the diversity is such is a strengthen i say in washington about the community i represent the beauty is if the mix strength it in the mix so this is why we're thrilled that obama has said he presidents two years of community college to be free just think that of what that >> just think the parent could not soft that he would their kids education they can go all

out and sigh reach for the started it is affordable and assessable to them and again, we want to have the kids go to school and i say kids to me everything is a kid but those students to be able to go to school whether it's in the summer and the idea you cut off summer just as known as how quickly young people or students can get into the workforce again, the taxpayers if we want to get down to dollars and cents but broader reach their ass perspires and most important jobs and the best jobs helping people reach their aspirations and bringing nomination to our economy and people that might not have had the access and

reducing the diversities by investing in education and recognizing that the strongest bridge in our economy from our people to our global competitiveness and keeping america number one the strongest rich is the bridge of community college it takes people where they want to go directly into the workforce to other education by the way all of that is an essential part quite essential part of our economy and again allowing people to follow passion when we passed the education bill the higher education it was a serious funding for community colleges it is expired 5 years that's why we introduced the bill to address the cost of higher education it was part of the

affordable health care act there was the same bill of the reconciliation act we passed the massive investment in higher education with the pell grant it was about one thing freeing people life liability and the pursuant ever happiness the free speech the liberty you're not policy bound but the freedom is the permit of happiness and the education to do so is honored the founder so we have to continue to fight to reduce the cost of education and the accumulated debt what's a troilgdz is greater than the

national debt it has to change so for those and other reasons i'm proud to be here today to absolute our success of community college san francisco and the context of higher education nationally and how if we're going to give everybody the opportunity to pursue their happiness their accessibility is related to affordability and that is all related to recognizing recognizing how important this is to individuals to families to our economy to keeping america number one congratulations to community college of san francisco this is really a happy day so much of you what you do going come to fruition and essential to all of that i want to recognize my colleague jackie spear the writer and all of you (clapping)

and congresswoman anna who is joining us but doesn't represent this district behind the scenes or in the forefront fighting and recognizing the community college of san francisco community work this is an important community and the word community has the word unthank you and the mayor has been about the oneness and the program at mission high for learning the growing the vegetables and it is connected to san francisco the person that is a great builder of community and understands the relationships to reach it goal is our mayor, mayor ed lee (clapping.) >> well, good morning, everyone and leader pelosi let me say

this you've been not only a wonderful leader for our community but for the nation and it is just incredible what maybe under debate in washington, d.c. but all of us have to pay attention we literally have to pay attention and make sure that we push forward the things we support and help leader pelosi and help congress really make sure their embarrassing education i want to use a procedure i think is done on the floors of congress i want to say i want to society myself with a comment leader pelosi i want to listen to the students the heart of what this nomination is all about i want to say this as well time after time in life as it is and politics or business when your challenged as this institution has been you find

out who our real friends are you know that the department of justice was loulth for the real friends as an institution i know that the administrators were looking out who are really going to support us in this time of crisis ultimately i knew the students who know this institution has the most affordable place where they can find successes and way forward for themselves and their families which are wondering who they're real friends were and when we formed the mayor's leadership education council the day's of hand-me-down and others to try to get education an even greater participation with the city we were singularly that we wanted to be your best friends we meadow what the challenge was

(clapping) and when we associated ourselves with city college even more what they're asking for help not only did we want to deliver we were delivering for the very people that are standing right here on all sides of the podium the people that will be the president in the future not only the members of our food industry and hospitality that is hugely important for this city but our first responders our health care workers the people that are 2k3wr5u9 today with solid degrees that are attracting world-class companies for their delineate and be innovative jessie and i are going to get heavy we're to have to exercise you being the chancellor we're going to have to take advantage of this corner and be customers i'm glad to be here on the

know thatcity college is a great place to be to found out what their mission is outside of the military you have many community that are truly depend on this nation's success and many communities that can't afford the tugsdz of larger institutions that are under beating debate about the tuition rate we've continued to keep this lower this is where the partnership comes and the unified school district we're forming that with our continental and forming a relationship to talk about surplus property and how best to serve the students and faculty with that land and to make sure it is a part of story that everyone can experience and we get to this reservoir site we're going to be talking serious about the faculty and

students that the faculty deserves is is great thing whether you're a student or not to be here today is about announcing this wonderful enrollment in light of all of us moving forward on every impact of our continental it is affordable i love this discussion that the state and national level about the tuition that is so existing to us because i've often said i think this is true that everyone it is worth repeating education is the best investment any company and city can be making and that is (clapping) >> such a solid thing the more i serve the people of san francisco the more true this is because if i can see those kinds of students come out and running our government departments and

running our businesses being in the world-class hotels and restaurants this city has to offer on an international level and running the elected positions that the arthritis have and we share a responsibility to make sure the city is successful for everybody that just drives even more commitment to do more on the affordability on the shared prosperity agenda and saying we can have the best transportation system and the best infrastructure and the best businesses located here because the talent is being kr50u9d from the best education from city college i'm here to say i'm not on enthusiastic but recognize the need nor the enrollment that our city college has with the chancellor there along with the

chancellors of every major university hass as part of the council we have driving our businesses and doing wonderful things like having the businesses invest directly in the institutions and having the businesses provide programs like united sf with surrounding the institutions to make sure they have all the support i think all the faculty and the students will see this generation we're challenged and find out who our friends are we become a better institution and have done so in this city college with that, let me introduce you to one of the students that are part of the - (clapping.) leader pelosi and i and others were downstairs. >> a minute ago going through
