           RECOGNIZING THE NATIONAL COLLEGIATE HONORS COUNCIL

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. LOIS FRANKEL

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 12, 2016

  Ms. FRANKEL of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the 
National Collegiate Honors Council on their 50th anniversary. The 
National Collegiate Honors Council serves over 325,000 honors scholars 
at over 800 colleges and universities, including Broward College in my 
district. Created in 1982, Broward College's Robert Elmore Honors 
Institute supports over 1,200 honor students annually.
  Sixteen students from the college have been awarded the prestigious 
Jack Kent Cooke Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship, the second highest 
total in the Nation. Many of these scholarship recipients have gone on 
to be successful thinkers, working for companies such as Facebook.
  In the words of founding director Dr. Mary Jo Henderson, ``The 
essential worth of our honors programs is not resulting scholarship or 
award but the experience itself''. I commend Broward College and the 
National Collegiate Honors Council for creating an experience that 
cultivates the leaders of tomorrow.
