                      Wednesday, November 19, 2003

  Mr. CAMP. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the Saginaw 
Valley State University in celebration of its 40th Anniversary.
  Founded in 1963, Saginaw Valley State University has quickly become 
one of the fastest-growing universities in Michigan. The university's 
humble beginnings as a community college in the late 1950s have 
encouraged the rapid growth and expansion of the university as 
demonstrated by their recent additions. From holding early classes in 
the basement of Delta College, to its current situation on a 782-acre 
campus, Saginaw Valley State University has become an unrivaled success 
story in mid-Michigan.
  I am honored today to recognize Saginaw Valley State University for 
its many accomplishments, and to thank the many staff, faculty, 
students, and families who have endeavored to support Saginaw Valley 
State University.

                          ____________________
