                           HON. DOUG LAMBORN

                         Tuesday, July 29, 2014

  Mr. LAMBORN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the University of 
Colorado Colorado Springs on the occasion of its upcoming 50th 
Anniversary.
  UCCS is one of the fastest growing universities in the United States, 
and is the designated growth campus for the University of Colorado with 
over 11,000 students. It is also one of the largest employers in 
southern Colorado with an economic impact of over $300 million annually 
to the state and local economies.
  Since 1965, UCCS has brought the world-class standards of the 
University of Colorado System to southern Colorado and continues to 
educate and inspire not only the students, faculty, and staff of the 
university, but also the community-at-large. On behalf of the Colorado 
Fifth Congressional District, I wish UCCS a very happy 50th Anniversary 
and look forward to the next 50 years of growth and prosperity.
