  Mr. OWENS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 50th 
Anniversary of the State University of New York at Plattsburgh Student 
Association.
   Since its modern founding in 1963 under then-President Martin 
Mannix, the SUNY Plattsburgh Student Association has enhanced student 
life by developing quality services, engaging programing, and enjoyable 
activities on campus. In doing so, the Association has succeeded in its 
vision to be an active and visible

resource for students and the greater college community. Today, the 
Student Association gives voice to the concerns and interests of 
students through its support of more than 80 campus clubs and 
organizations.
   SUNY Plattsburgh prepares students from across New York to compete 
in a rapidly-changing global economy. By fostering the values of 
scholarship, diversity, and inclusion on campus and in the greater 
community, the Student Association has contributed immeasurably to the 
university's mission.
   I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating all current and 
former members of the SUNY Plattsburgh Student Association for reaching 
this milestone, thanking them for all their contributions to the 
Plattsburgh community, and wishing them all the best in years ahead.
