     125TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE FOUNDING OF UNIVERSITY OF SIOUX FALLS

 Mr. JOHNSON. Mr. President, today I wish to recognize the 
125th anniversary of the founding of University of Sioux Falls. Over 
the course of its history, USF has continuously produced extraordinary 
graduates with a Christian liberal arts education. In the modern, high-
tech, and competitive environment in which we live, USF students are 
equipped with the skills that are essential for success.
  In education, technology, and research, USF is at the forefront of 
academic and cultural achievement, with enrollment now at 1,700 and a 
diverse student body from over 20 States. For 125 years, the university 
has helped students realize their potential by offering them a quality 
education and a positive social and religious environment. USF 
graduates are well-equipped to succeed in a competitive world, 
delivering countless benefits to organizations and communities close to 
home and around the globe.
  I am proud to have this opportunity to honor the University of Sioux 
Falls for its 125 years of outstanding service. I strongly commend 
their hard work and dedication, and I am very pleased that their 
substantial efforts are being publicly honored and celebrated.
