Mr. Speaker. I rise today to honor Jose Hurtado. a faculty member at Napa Valley College. who is retiring this month after 38 years of service. Mr. Hurtados family immigrated to the United States in 1958. I had the pleasure of growing up with Jose. who went on to earn degrees from Napa Valley College. UC Davis. and Sacramento State College. He was the first in his family to earn college degrees. and his younger siblings quickly followed his lead. In 1977. Mr. Hurtado began work as a counseling assistant at Napa Valley College. In 1980. he became the first Extended Opportunity Programs and Services (EOPS) Counselor hired to a tenuretrack position.
