                  75TH ANNIVERSARY OF ROWAN UNIVERSITY

 Mr. TORRICELLI. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize Rowan 
University as it celebrates its 75th Anniversary. This year marks the 
75th year that Rowan will provide quality education to residents in New 
Jersey and across the country. It is a pleasure for me to be able to 
recognize this important milestone.
  Rowan provides an exceptional environment for achievement and 
fulfillment through rigorous academic training and vigorous personal 
interaction among the members of its diverse learning community. As a 
regional public university committed to teaching, Rowan combines 
liberal education with professional preparation and offers programs 
from the undergraduate through doctoral levels. Rowan University seeks 
to achieve knowledge through ambition, responsibility through service, 
and character through challenge. The University is a constantly 
expanding resource for the State of New Jersey, developing as a 
community of learners with a curriculum that integrates professional 
and liberal education. Rowan has succeeded in developing values, 
shaping character, and enhancing the capacity for a fulfilling and 
socially responsible life among its graduates. Rowan University alumni 
are well prepared to assume positions of leadership within their 
communities and professional fields.
  Rowan University has become an extraordinary comprehensive 
institution that has improved the quality of life for the citizens of 
New Jersey, and it has long been an example of the standard that we set 
for our nation's universities. Through hard work and dedication, the 
faculty have illustrated their commitment to building the leaders of 
tomorrow, and their success over the past 75 years serve as an 
inspiration to all educators.
  I am proud to recognize Rowan University on its anniversary, and I 
look forward to another 75 years of quality education from this 
institution.
