  Mr. CHABOT. Mr. Speaker, the year 2014 marks the 50th anniversary of 
Union Institute & University, a private, non-profit, accredited 
university, designed exclusively for adults seeking academic programs 
that transform lives and communities.
  Headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, with centers in California, 
Florida, and Vermont, Union's vision is to engage, enlighten, and 
empower motivated adults in their pursuit of a lifetime of learning and 
service. This forward-facing institution now serves 2,000 students 
around the nation and offers undergraduate, master's, and doctoral 
degrees and certificates. Union Institute & University pioneered many 
of the concepts now common in higher education, including distance and 
online education, individualized self-paced programs, and an abiding 
commitment to adults seeking transformative education.
  Today, the university's 15,500 alumni--including the Most Honorable 
Prime Minister of Jamaica, Portia Simpson Miller, and our esteemed 
colleague, the Honorable Congressman from Illinois, Dr. Danny Davis--
are transforming lives and communities, and making a difference 
wherever they live and work.
