                 COMMENDING IVY TECH COMMUNITY COLLEGE

  (Mr. DONNELLY of Indiana asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. DONNELLY of Indiana. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ivy 
Tech Community College in South Bend, Indiana. Last week, Ivy Tech's 
South Bend campus was approved by the Indiana Commission for Higher 
Education to become the first college in Indiana to offer an 
associate's degree in the field of nanotechnology.
  As demonstrated by advances made at the Midwest Institute for 
Nanoelectronics Discovery in South Bend, north central Indiana is a 
growing leader in the Nation's nanotechnology research and development.
  As our Nation is faced with an expanding and increasingly competitive 
global economy, it is crucial to promote efforts such as a 
nanotechnology education to not only keep America competitive, but to 
thrive and win.
  Investments today in nanotechnology will result in quality, rewarding 
Hoosier jobs of the future. I commend Ivy Tech for their efforts to 
prepare students, our next generation of innovators for the future.
