                        Friday, October 22, 2021

  Ms. NORTON. Madam Speaker, today, I rise to congratulate the Howard 
University Medical Alumni Association (HUMAA) on its 150th anniversary.
  Founded in 1871, HUMAA is one of the oldest medical alumni 
associations in the country and consists of more than 5,000 alumni.
  In the 1957-58 school year, it granted its first scholarship, $550. 
In recent years, HUMAA has been awarding $200,000 annually in 
scholarships.
  Today, HUMAA's mission is to promote the mutual professional 
interests of the graduates of the Howard University College of Medicine 
(HUCM), assist in the development of HUCM's programs and support the 
welfare of HUCM's students.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing HUMAA for 150 years of 
providing education and networking opportunities for the alumni and 
students of HUCM. I wish them many more years of success.

                          ____________________
