Congratulating Northeastern Illinois University on the sesquicentennial 
                           of the University.

Whereas Northeastern Illinois University has served the Chicagoland area and 
        beyond for 150 years, having graduated nearly 80,000 students who have--

    (1) strengthened the local workforce;

    (2) made a positive difference in their communities; and

    (3) transformed the lives of others, just as the University has done 
for those students;

Whereas Northeastern Illinois University is regarded as the most diverse 
        regional university in the Midwest and is designated by the Department 
        of Education as a Hispanic-Serving Institution;
Whereas Northeastern Illinois University is known for--

    (1) having the safest campus in the State of Illinois;

    (2) being among the best institutions in the United States for adult 
learners; and

    (3) the fact that graduates of the University have the ninth-lowest 
amount of student loan debt among graduates of 4-year colleges and 
universities in the United States; and

Whereas Northeastern Illinois University offers more than 80 undergraduate and 
        graduate programs in the arts, sciences, education, and business at 5 
        locations in the Chicago metropolitan area, including in the North Park 
        and Bronzeville neighborhoods: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) congratulates Northeastern Illinois University on the 
        sesquicentennial of the University; and
            (2) extends best wishes to Northeastern Illinois University 
        for continued success and achievement.
