  Mr. JEFFRIES. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge the 50th 
anniversary of the National Collegiate Honors Council and their 
commitment to collegiate honors education. Since their inception, the 
National Collegiate Honors Council has been dedicated to excellence in 
education in diverse subject and curriculum areas. They serve over 800 
colleges and universities and over 325,000 students across the country.
   I also want to recognize the Kingsborough Community College, in 
Southern Brooklyn, for their outstanding dedication to academic 
enrichment and achievement. Kingsborough Community College serves about 
14,000 full and part-time students each year in a wide array of liberal 
arts and career education courses. Kingsborough Community College 
provides its students with a high level of education through its 
associate degree programs that prepare students to transfer to senior 
colleges or enter directly into a professional career.
   Kingsborough Community College offers qualifying students the 
opportunity to challenge themselves in the Honors Program with rigorous 
coursework, the ability to study with other gifted students and benefit 
from increased contact with top faculty.
   Characterized by smaller classes, individual research projects, 
internships, study-travel opportunities and community service, 
Kingsborough Community College Honors program enhances their students' 
global awareness and cultivates America's future leaders.
   Having produced notable alumni that include Sid Rosenberg, the 
accomplished sports radio personality, Jeff Koinange, Emmy award 
winning journalist and Andrew Weyman, Director of shows such as the Big 
Bang Theory and The King of Queens, Kingsborough Community College 
continues to educate the global leaders of tomorrow.
