                     RECOGNIZING KEISER UNIVERSITY

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DANIEL WEBSTER

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 21, 2017

  Mr. WEBSTER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Keiser 
University for their accomplishments and their example for how a 
private university should operate and serve their community. For 40 
years, Keiser University has equipped thousands of students to achieve 
success in our ever-changing economy. It is through institutions like 
Keiser that students across America and around the world have access to 
a variety of educational choices ranging from associate to doctoral 
degree programs.
  An overwhelming sixty-six percent of Keiser graduates complete their 
degrees in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and 
Mathematics (STEM). With unwavering persistence, I continue to support 
STEM, and am very pleased to celebrate the impressive milestone of this 
educational institution. In the past 10 years, Keiser University 
produced more than 33,800 graduates with associate degrees in a wide 
variety of in-demand working fields. With access to skilled workers on 
the decline, it is imperative that Congress works together with states 
to better prepare our workforce of tomorrow. I am pleased to witness 
Keiser's success, and wish them many more years of prosperity.
  I applaud Keiser's faculty, staff, and students for their 
achievements and for their ongoing commitment to equipping our next 
generation to be leaders and achieve their dreams.
