                        IN HONOR OF FENN COLLEGE

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. DENNIS J. KUCINICH

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 16, 1998

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Cleveland State 
University's Fenn College on its 75th anniversary. With its Cooperative 
Education program, this institution has provided its students with an 
exceptional education.
  Founded in 1923, Fenn College began an ambitious mission to make 
quality education affordable for any student who wanted to attend 
college. The College's academic core of the School of Art and Sciences, 
the School of Business Administration and the School of Engineering 
evolved into Cleveland State University in 1965.
  Despite the change, Fenn College and its Cooperative Education 
program have remained a staple of the University. One of the first in 
the nation, the program partners with area corporations to help 
students gain work experience in their chosen fields and become 
valuable employees upon graduation. Students conclude their education 
prepared and willing to enter the competitive marketplace.
  Today, Cleveland State University continues the Fenn tradition of 
excellence. Fenn and Cleveland State graduates create the solutions 
that drive business, industry, culture, and academics, throughout 
Northeast Ohio, our nation and the world.
  My fellow colleagues, please join me in commemorating the 75th 
anniversary of Fenn College. This fine institution has opened its doors 
to many young minds, educating them in preparation for their future.
