  Mr. SCOTT of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
honor the Scripps Howard School of Journalism and Communications at 
Hampton University on its 20th Anniversary.
  The Scripps Howard School of Journalism and Communications was 
established in September 2002 to train students to become expert 
journalists and communicators and increase diversity within the 
industry. Hampton University is one of the nation's top Historically 
Black Colleges and Universities, and the Scripps Howard School 
continues the legacy of innovative higher education that is found at 
Hampton University.
  The Scripps Howard School of Journalism and Communications hosts a 
wide variety of experiences to prepare students for their future 
journalistic pursuits. Housed in a 36,000 square foot building, the 
school offers students the ability to work in a broadcast studio, a 
radio station, and a television station with state-of-the-art editing 
equipment. Alumni of the school enter the workforce as talented 
journalists, holding positions at local and national news 
organizations. The Scripps Howard School of Journalism and 
Communications embodies the Hampton University motto: ``The Standard 
for Excellence, An Education for Life.''
  I want to thank Julia A. Wilson, the current Dean of the Scripps 
Howard School of Journalism and Communications, for her dedication to 
the students of Hampton University. I also want to thank the prior 
deans Christopher Campbell, Tony Brown, Rosalynne Whitaker-Heck, Brett 
A. Pulley, and B. DaVida Plummer for their years of service.
  Mr. Speaker, as the Hampton University community gathers this Friday 
to celebrate this momentous anniversary, I want to congratulate the 
students, faculty and alumni of the Scripps Howard School of Journalism 
and Communications on 20 years of excellence and wish them many more 
years of success.
