                             HON. TOM EMMER

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 1, 2015

  Mr. EMMER of Minnesota. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the 
College of Saint Benedict in Collegeville, Minnesota. This college has 
a stellar reputation throughout the state of Minnesota, and for good 
reason.
  It was recently announced that the College of Saint Benedict is a 
recipient of a National Science Foundation award for their 
collaboration in a project entitled ``Collaborative Research: 
Developing and Assessing Effective Cyberlearning within the STEM Wiki 
Hyperlibrary.'' As a result of receiving this prestigious award, the 
college will receive $25,484 dollars.
  While many things remain uncertain in this world, one does not. 
Science, mathematics and technology are keys to the future. It is so 
critical that colleges and universities throughout the United States 
place a strong emphasis on these fields so that our country can 
continue to evolve, succeed and remain competitive in this constantly 
developing world.
  That is why I want to commend the College of Saint Benedict here, 
today. The emphasis put on science, mathematics and technology is 
evident by receipt of this award.
  I thank the College of Saint Benedict for motivating students to look 
towards the future and do what is best for Minnesota, and the United 
States as a whole.
