CELEBRATING THE OPENING OF THE INSTITUTE FOR ADVANCED MANUFACTURING AT 
                       CLINTON COMMUNITY COLLEGE

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. ELISE M. STEFANIK

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 21, 2017

  Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and celebrate the 
opening of the Institute for Advanced Manufacturing at Clinton 
Community College.
  Clinton Community College serves as a member unit of the State 
University of New York system (SUNY), which allows students of diverse 
backgrounds across the state to access educational programs and 
services. Since its founding in 1966, Clinton Community College has 
promoted educational opportunities that enrich minds, strengthen the 
economy, and improve the quality of life in the North Country.
  Clinton Community College is approaching completion of a 30,000 
square foot state-of-the-art facility for its technology programs, 
which was made possible by a $12.7 million award through the SUNY 2020 
grant program. This new facility will feature flexible teaching and 
learning spaces, as well as a variety of courses in transportation and 
manufacturing. These fields play an important role in local economic 
development, and the addition of this facility will continue Clinton 
Community College's legacy of bringing education and opportunity to the 
North Country.
  On behalf of New York's 21st District, I want to congratulate Clinton 
Community College on the opening of the Institute for Advanced 
Manufacturing. We are grateful for the College's commitment to 
educating our community, and hope that this addition serves it well for 
many years to come.
