CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY PROJECT ADVANCE
(Mr. WILLIAMS of New York asked and was given permission to address
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. WILLIAMS of New York. Mr. Speaker, 50 years ago, Syracuse
University made a commitment to high school students to help prepare
them for college. It also made a commitment to educators to help them
continue to grow in their profession, and it made a commitment to the
education community as a whole to continue important research.
The Syracuse University Project Advance is an enhanced concurrent
enrollment project that is serving over 200 other partner schools. It
has helped more than 750 educators become Syracuse University adjuncts.
We celebrate 50 years of the Syracuse University Project Advance
program today. As a supporter of choice in education, I applaud SU for
their continued efforts locally to provide programs that give students
access to the tools necessary for their careers and prepare them for
college.
The Syracuse University Project Advance increases dialogue between a
major local university and our local high schools. It offers innovative
courses, and it allows students the option to stay local and be
prepared for the next chapters in their lives right in their hometowns.
