DUBOIS BUSINESS COLLEGE
(Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, the DuBois Business
College started teaching courses in DuBois, Pennsylvania, 125 years
ago. They pride themselves on a small student-to-teacher ratio and a
stellar success rate for students. From legal assistants to clinical
medical assistants, the college has spent decades helping to move
people into careers with a future and a good paycheck.
In 1996, the college opened branches in the nearby communities of
Huntingdon and Oil City. Then, in 2001, a core group of eight veteran
instructors and working administrators purchased the college and
committed themselves to continuing the college tradition of excellence.
The college will be celebrating its anniversary throughout the year,
but this weekend they'll hold an open house and tours of their newly
remodeled facility and new student annex as a commemorative
celebration.
In an area where there are no community colleges, DuBois Business
College has filled a need over its history and continues to offer
quality and affordable education in the fields of accounting, business
management, medical, legal, information technology, graphic arts,
computer applications, and even movie making.
It is my pleasure to congratulate this institution on its anniversary
and to wish them continued success and growth.
