anniversary of the National Collegiate Honors Council.
  Winthrop University is a coeducational, comprehensive university that 
teaches students to live, learn, and lead for a lifetime. Their Honors 
Program is designed to enrich the college experience for highly 
talented and motivated students and create a community of scholars that 
promote the pursuit of knowledge for intellectual and personal growth. 
The Honors Program was founded in 1960 and is one of the oldest in the 
nation. Over the years, the program has flourished by adapting when 
needed and now enrolls around 350 students from each of the academic 
colleges at the university. Winthrop University honors students who 
exemplify the kind of leadership, knowledge and experience we look for 
in future leaders of our global society.
  I also want to recognize and express my gratitude to the National 
Collegiate Honors Council as they celebrate their 50th anniversary. The 
National Collegiate Honors Council serves Winthrop and more than 800 
other colleges and universities across the country. These institutions 
share a commitment to achieving excellence in diverse subject and 
curriculum areas to accomplish professional career goals.
  With the help of universities like Winthrop and professional 
organizations like the National Collegiate Honors Council, I am 
confident our nation will continue to produce the workforce necessary 
to lead us successfully through the 21st century.
