   RECOGNIZING INDIANA UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA AND THEIR SAFETY, 
           HEALTH, AND ENVIRONMENTAL APPLIED SCIENCES PROGRAM

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
  The University's Safety, Health, and Environmental Applied Sciences 
program recently received a national recognition. Universities.com 
ranked the program third in the Nation, giving IUP's program top marks 
in career preparation, students and culture, facilities, activities, 
and groups. More than 8,000 colleges and universities were considered 
in this ranking process.
  Believed to be one of the first programs of its kind in the Nation, 
IUP's Safety, Health, and Environmental Applied Sciences program trains 
safety professionals in industry, government, and institutional 
settings. According to the department's chairwoman, Tracy Cekada, the 
program prepares students for work in a wide range of areas, including 
manufacturing, oil and gas, insurance, healthcare, construction, 
distribution, government, transportation, and the service industry.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to have such a stellar academic institution 
in my district like Indiana University of Pennsylvania, and this top-
notch program comes as no surprise.
  Congratulations, IUP, for this well-deserved recognition.
