                 THE 75TH ANNIVERSARY OF WALSH COLLEGE

 Mr. ABRAHAM. Mr. President, today I rise to pay tribute to 
Walsh College on the occasion of their 75th anniversary. Since 1922, 
Walsh College has been highly instrumental in turning business leaders 
of tomorrow into business leaders of today. Michiganites, and many 
others across America, have benefited immensely by the quality of 
education and rich tradition bestowed upon its students.
  Over 11,000 Walsh College alumni have worked to improve Michigan's 
economy and bring about a better quality of life for those near to 
them. With over 3,000 students and 4 campuses--soon to be 5 campuses--
Walsh College continues to enlarge its positive impact on Michigan's 
southeastern communities.
  It is well known by businesses in Michigan that Walsh students excel 
in their work. For example, 10 have received the Paton Award for 
achieving the highest Michigan score on the CPA exam, and 13 have 
received the Sells Award for placing in the top 100 of those taking the 
test nationwide. Through its six undergraduate degree programs and five 
graduate programs, Walsh College brings to Michigan an unparalleled 
excellence in education.
  Again, congratulations for 75 great years in business education and, 
on behalf of the U.S. Senate, I offer my highest appreciation and 
praise to all who have made the past 75 years a great success.
