         RECOGNITION OF KENNETH W. MONTFORT COLLEGE OF BUSINESS

 Mr. ALLARD. Mr. President, I rise today to congratulate 
Kenneth W. Montfort College of Business at the University of Northern 
Colorado on receiving the 2004 Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award, 
the Nation's highest honor for quality and performance excellence.
  The Kenneth W. Monfort College of Business at the University of 
Northern Colorado is the sole business school to receive the Malcolm 
Baldrige National Quality Award from the National Institute of 
Standards and Technology. This award recognizes the outstanding 
performance and accomplishments of American businesses, schools, and 
health care organizations that surpass standards of excellence and 
ethics.
  Monfort College of Business offers the only program of its kind in 
the Rocky Mountain region focused exclusively on undergraduate business 
education and internationally accredited in business administration and 
accounting. Monfort is one of five undergraduate-only programs in the 
United States to hold such accreditations. Students at Monfort score in 
the top 5 percent on nationwide standardized exit exams and earn a 
degree in business administration with an emphasis in accounting, 
computer information systems, finance, general business, management, or 
marketing. An interdisciplinary degree is also available in nonprofit 
management. Monfort's student-centered approach is exemplified by its 
three-dimensional learning strategy: High-Touch, small class sizes 
taught on an interactive basis, Wide-Tech, exposure to a wide array of 
business technologies, and Professional Depth, instruction from 
seasoned professors, including highly placed executives.
  Understanding the importance of a well-rounded college education is 
important if we are to produce the next
