S. Department of Educations Predominantly Black Institutions (PBI) program. The college will receive $2,452,567 over the next five years to focus on Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) programs. Congresswoman Johnson presented the first installment of the PBI grant to Cedar Valley College at a press conference today in the colleges state-of-the art Math, Science & Allied Health Building. STEM Education is an issue I care deeply about, and one that I take very seriously, said Congresswoman Johnson. There is a very real possibility that we will lose our competitive edge and our children will no longer have the opportunities that we had, if we do not remain committed to investing in and improving STEM education in this country. I am encouraged by the work Cedar Valley College and entire Dallas County Community College District is doing to get African-American men involved and trained in the STEM fields. This grant will go a long way to continue to support and enhance their efforts in educating African-American men for 21st century careers. ### U.S. Representative Eddie Bernice Johnson is the ranking member of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology and the highest-ranking Texan on the House Committee on Transportation & Infrastructure.
