                              SUNY POTSDAM

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from 
New York (Ms. Stefanik) for 5 minutes.
  Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to celebrate a tremendous 
milestone for a school in my district, the State University of New York 
at Potsdam.
  On March 25, 1816, the document that would establish what is now 
known as SUNY Potsdam was signed, making it one of our Nation's first 
50 colleges and the oldest institution in the SUNY system. Since that 
time, this school has developed a well-deserved reputation for 
providing a topflight education, especially in the liberal arts and 
science fields, and is the proud home of the world-renowned Crane 
School of Music, which I toured last year.
  As the cochair of the Congressional STEAM Caucus, I am proud that 
SUNY Potsdam is leading the way in incorporating the arts into the 
traditional science, technology, engineering, and math curriculum.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to stand on the House floor today to 
commemorate the 200th anniversary of the founding of SUNY Potsdam.
