  Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and recognize the 
50th Anniversary of Herkimer Community College in Herkimer, New York.
  The college opened its doors in 1967 for over 200 enrolled students, 
becoming the 29th community college in New York State. Since then, 
Herkimer Community College has provided over 20,000 alumni with an 
opportunity to succeed, while also offering immense economic and social 
benefits to the community it has called home for half a century.
  By incentivizing academic, athletic and extra-curricular achievement, 
Herkimer Community College has helped its students to pursue their 
goals in exciting and varied careers. The school's success is a 
testament to its hardworking staff and to the importance of an 
accessible education.
  Congratulations to Herkimer Community College as it celebrates its 
50th Anniversary. I want to thank its staff for their vital work and 
wish them continued success in the future.
