  Mr. HERGER. Madam Speaker, I am pleased to express my support for H. 
Res. 1117, a resolution congratulating the California State University 
system on its 50th anniversary. Its Chico campus is located in the 
Northern California Congressional District I represent and provides 
residents of the North State with exceptional academic opportunities. 
In fact, 69 percent of students currently attending CSU Chico are from 
Northern California.
  CSU Chico is a vital part of the community. It was established in 
1887 and offers its 15,797 full-time students over 300 academic 
programs and 66 undergraduate majors. To better enrich the lives of its 
students, the university is home to almost 240 student organizations. 
Its commitment to academic excellence, coupled with the many 
opportunities it offers students, enable CSU Chico to produce informed 
and well-rounded individuals that contribute greatly to our local 
communities and the Nation.
  I offer my congratulations to the entire CSU system on this 
noteworthy occasion, and wish it many more years of providing a high 
quality education to students from California and across our Nation.
