clyde views which he tells me repeatedly is the largest community college of mississippi. both of these respected leaders leaders could not be here because of previously scheduled board meetings but we do have some community college presidents here that i would like to introduce the subcommittee to. the first one is willie duncan who i believe is behind me. president duncan is the chairman of taft college and is the chairman of our consortium of autism and intellectual disabilities. the second president we have accompanying me is dr. wayne burton who's the president of north shore community college based up in massachusetts. we have steve rose, who i think is here today. who's the chairman of passaic community college. also with me is mr. jeff ross, the director of taft colleges transition to independent living program, which in my opinion is one of the foremost post-secondary programs in the country for students with autism and intellectual disability. in fact, if you look at my testimony on page 2 or 3, i really -- the summary of the results the taft has achievedse% thes
