  Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, from the 24th District of the 
great state of Florida, I rise today to congratulate Nova Southeastern 
University on its 50th anniversary and for a half century of service to 
our students, community and state. I include in the Record the

       Whereas, Nova Southeastern University was founded as Nova 
     University of Advanced Technology on December 4, 1964, in 
     Fort Lauderdale, Florida;
       Whereas, in 1994, Nova University merged with Southeastern 
     University of Health and Sciences to form Nova Southeastern 
     University;
       Whereas, today, Nova Southeastern University is the largest 
     independent institution of higher education in the 
     southeastern United States and the ninth largest independent, 
     not-for-profit institution of higher education nationally;
       Whereas, Nova Southeastern University has graduated more 
     than 162,000 students who have become professionals in such 
     areas as health care, education, law, business, computer 
     sciences, mental and social sciences;
       Whereas, Nova Southeastern University employs more than 
     4,000 people, and has an economic impact of $2.6 billion, in 
     Florida; and
       Now, therefore, be it resolved that I, Frederica S. Wilson, 
     a Member of the United States House of Representatives, 
     representing the 24th Congressional District of Florida, 
     congratulate Nova Southeastern University on its 50th 
     Anniversary and commend it for its contributions to education 
     and for its commitment to our community, state and our 
     country.
