  Mr. BURGESS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Texas 
Wesleyan University on the completion of the new Ed and Rae Schollmaier 
Science and Technology Center.
  This new learning center will facilitate access to genomic databases 
for use in biology, chemistry and computer science courses at Texas 
Wesleyan. The technology center will be a valued resource for students 
and faculty working in the disciplines of biology, chemistry, physics, 
computer science, and math. Texas Wesleyan science educators will be 
able to provide state-of-the-art learning opportunities to its diverse 
student body. Undergraduate students at Texas Wesleyan will be provided 
with scientific research opportunities that are typically available 
only to graduate students.
  Founded in 1890 in Fort Worth, Texas, Wesleyan University is a United 
Methodist institution dedicated to the education of students in the 
region and beyond. The University offers a wide range of degrees for 
undergraduate and graduate students and educates international students 
from 28 countries
  I congratulate Texas Wesleyan University as it continues to progress 
as a distinguished and diverse educational institution, and I am proud 
to represent them in Congress.
