                               RESOLUTION


 
      Congratulating Berkeley College on the occasion of its 75th 
                              anniversary.

Whereas Berkeley College's educational traditions date back to 1931 when the 
        school first opened in East Orange, New Jersey, as a private institution 
        dedicated to executive secretarial training for women;
Whereas Berkeley College provides an all-encompassing educational experience 
        designed to develop professional competencies in preparation for 
        business careers and to provide the knowledge, understanding, and 
        appreciation of our culture necessary to meet the demands of an ever-
        changing society;
Whereas throughout its impressive history, Berkeley College has consistently 
        brought together distinguished and dedicated administrators, faculty, 
        and staff whose talents, expertise, vision, and commitment have enabled 
        generations of students to explore and enjoy exciting new worlds of 
        knowledge and enrichment;
Whereas more than 5,000 students from 7 locations in New York and New Jersey, 
        students from 29 states and 88 foreign countries, have chosen Berkeley 
        College as their higher education provider;
Whereas Berkeley College's 7 locations can be found in Newark, New Jersey; West 
        Paterson, New Jersey; Woodbridge, New Jersey; Paramus, New Jersey; White 
        Plains, New York; and two locations in New York City, New York;
Whereas the College continues to grow and seek ways to enable more citizens 
        access to higher education at new locations in New York and New Jersey 
        and online through the Internet; and
Whereas Berkeley College offers superior programs that balance traditional 
        academic preparation with professional training and hands-on experience: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved,  That the House of Representatives--
            (1) congratulates Berkeley College on the occasion of its 
        75th anniversary; and
            (2) commends the President of Berkeley College, Dr. Mildred 
        Garcia, and the administration, faculty, staff, students, and 
        alumnae of the College for their outstanding achievements and 
        their contribution to the community.
