During her accomplished tenure, Dr. Gilmour has guided Penn College through challenges, growth, and innovation-ultimately shaping the institution into a national leader in applied technology education.

Penn College has stepped up in a big way to develop Pennsylvania's workforce and close the skills gap-largely due to Dr. Gilmour's vision and commitment to giving students the tools to excel in high-demand fields.

Dr. Gilmour and I share that vision and I have enjoyed working with Penn College in Congress to develop policies that bring job creators and the workforce closer together, expand opportunities for career and technical education, promote economic development, and spur job creation.

I thank Dr. Gilmour for her service, vision, and tireless commitment to Penn College's important mission.

I wish Dr. Gilmour all the best in her future endeavors.
