            50TH ANNIVERSARY OF NORTH CENTRAL STATE COLLEGE

 Mr. PORTMAN. Mr. President, today I wish to honor North 
Central State College in recognition of its 50th anniversary of 
providing quality higher education to the citizens of Ohio. Chartered 
by the Ohio Board of Regents and certified by the Ohio Secretary of 
State in May 1969, North Central State College moved to its current 
Mansfield location in 1970. North Central State is a regional economic 
and innovation leader where the community as a whole benefits from the 
increased occupational and investment opportunities of students 
remaining in Ohio after their graduation. More than 4,300 students 
enroll each year.
  North Central State offers more than 70 associate degrees and 
certificate programs in public services, health sciences, business, and 
engineering technologies. The mission of North Central State College is 
to provide individuals with the knowledge, skills, and inspiration to 
succeed in their chosen path. During this year's commencement ceremony, 
North Central State will present a degree to its 14,000th graduate.
  I am here to honor North Central State College and to congratulate 
everyone who was involved in making its first 50 years a 
success.
