                    HONORING CELEBRATION OF LEARNING

                          HON. ROSA L. DeLAURO

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 13, 1995

  Ms. DeLAURO. Mr. Speaker, this year, the University of New Haven 
marks its 75th anniversary with a year-long ``Celebration of 
Learning.'' It is with great pleasure that I rise today to congratulate 
the university administration, staff, alumni, and students on reaching 
this historic milestone.
  With 6,000 students currently enrolled and over 28,000 alumni, the 
University of New Haven has become one of the largest independent 
institutions of higher education in the region. The university offers 
an impressive array of services to its students and, under the strong 
leadership of President Lawrence J. DeNardis, has forged strong ties 
with the surrounding community. Indeed, the university administration 
has worked hard to cultivate a long-lasting and mutually beneficial 
relationship with the city of New Haven. Students from all walks of 
life are able to take advantage of the school's diverse and exciting 
programs.
  The University of New Haven has more than fulfilled the vision and 
expectations of its founders who conducted the first classes at Yale 
University in the 1920's. Since then, the university has become known 
nationally for its exceptional programs in a number of different 
disciplines. I am confident that UNH will continue to expand its 
services while maintaining its hard-earned reputation for academic 
excellence and innovative programs.
  On Saturday, October 14, 1995, more than 600 alumni and friends of 
the University of New Haven will attend the 75th anniversary gala. I 
thank the university administration for including me in this historic 
celebration, and wish them continued success in preparing students for 
the 21st century.
