staff of Saint Paul College on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of 
the school. Founded in 1910, Saint Paul College is an outstanding 
community and technical college that is a part of the Minnesota State 
Colleges and Universities system (MnSCU). Saint Paul College has 
further distinguished itself by earning the nation's top ranking among 
community colleges according to the 2010 September/October edition of 
Washington Monthly Magazine.
  Located on Cathedral Hill near downtown and overlooking at the State 
Capitol, Saint Paul College is a model two-year higher education 
institution, providing academic excellence and trade and technical 
skills to prepare students for success in the workplace.
  Saint Paul College offers thirty-eight associate degree programs and 
sixty-one occupational certificate and diploma programs, including 
transfer and articulation agreements with 4-year colleges and 
universities that provide pathways for students to transfer and 
continue their higher education.
  The first-place ranking and national recognition conveyed by 
Washington Monthly Magazine is a testament to the school's long-
standing commitment to academic excellence and to the students and 
families in the community it serves. Generations of crafts and trades 
people in Minnesota have earned their education at Saint Paul College, 
and the school is poised to help more generations develop the skills 
they need for successful careers.
  In honor of the 100th Anniversary of Saint Paul College, I am pleased 
to recognize the many achievements of the faculty, staff and students 
through this statement in the Congressional Record.
