    IN RECOGNITION OF THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF AUBURN UNIVERSITY AT

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. MIKE ROGERS

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 29, 2009

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I respectfully request the 
attention of the House today to pay recognition to an important 
educational institution in Montgomery, Alabama, as it celebrates 40 
years of excellence in higher education.
  In September 1969, the doors to Auburn Montgomery were formally 
opened to students. Since that time, the student population has grown 
by a factor of 9 and the areas of study from 16 to over 90. Through its 
40 years, Auburn Montgomery has conferred more than 31,000 degrees.
  Like so many of east Alabama's proud institutions of higher 
education, Auburn Montgomery has produced great leaders and thinkers 
who have made enormous contributions to our State and our Nation. We 
are all proud of AUM for achieving this important milestone, and look 
forward to its continued growth and prosperity in its next 40 years of 
academic excellence.
