                      HONORING SWEET BRIAR COLLEGE

  (Mr. CLINE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CLINE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Sweet Briar College 
for being named one of the most innovative schools in the country by 
U.S. News & World Report. This is the second time in 3 years that Sweet 
Briar has earned this distinction in recognition of its academic and 
institutional innovations.
  Located in Amherst County, Virginia, the college is committed to 
instilling in its students the knowledge and skills necessary to 
address the challenges facing our communities.
  Sweet Briar utilizes its sprawling 2,800-acre campus, including its 
lakes, vineyards, apiary, and 26,000-square-foot greenhouse, as a 
natural canvas and laboratory to offer students an experience unlike 
any other in the country.
  Further, not only is Sweet Briar home to one of our country's oldest 
award-winning riding programs, but it is also one of two women's 
colleges in the United States with an ABET-accredited engineering 
program. Thus, it came as no surprise to hear that they were once again 
honored for their innovation.
  President Meredith Woo and the school faculty have created a truly 
shining example of the incredible academic opportunities the Sixth 
District offers students from across the Nation.
