                  BIG TIME GROWTH FOR HOUSTON MARINERS

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. PETE OLSON

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, February 1, 2016

  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate San Jacinto 
College for their success in opening a new 45,000 square-foot maritime 
training center.
  San Jacinto College sits next to the Port of Houston, which gives 
students prime opportunity to further their maritime career through 
interaction with community and industry partners. With its history 
dating back to the 1960s, San Jacinto College is now home to almost 
30,000 students across 3 campuses and 12 extension centers. The new 
maritime training center is an excellent addition to their already 
successful campuses. This new facility contains three ship simulators, 
an engineering room with hydraulics, a swimming pool, and much more. 
San Jacinto College is a great place for students to grow and to 
develop critical education and workforce skills. We're proud of the 
many opportunities it offers to students in the Houston area.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations to San Jacinto College for their new training center. 
We can't wait to see what happens next.
