Obama to Address WH Community Colleges Summit.

[elleng]

Obama put Jill Biden, the wife of Vice President Joe Biden, in charge of the summit. She has taught English at community colleges for the past 17 years of her three decades as an educator. She still teaches twice a week at a community college not far from the White House and often says these schools are America's best-kept secret.

"Most people were looking for a four-year college and they just sort of bypassed community colleges," Jill Biden told The Associated Press in an exclusive interview. "Now that the word is out they're realizing, especially students in the middle class, that this is a way they can afford college."

Community college tuition is about $2,500 a year.

"What I'm hoping this summit does is create awareness and highlight the value of community colleges," Jill Biden said.
