                        DUBOIS BUSINESS COLLEGE

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, the DuBois Business 
College started teaching courses in DuBois, Pennsylvania, 125 years 
ago. They pride themselves on a small student-to-teacher ratio and a 
stellar success rate for students. From legal assistants to clinical 
medical assistants, the college has spent decades helping to move 
people into careers with a future and a good paycheck.
  In 1996, the college opened branches in the nearby communities of 
Huntingdon and Oil City. Then, in 2001, a core group of eight veteran 
instructors and working administrators purchased the college and 
committed themselves to continuing the college tradition of excellence.
  The college will be celebrating its anniversary throughout the year, 
but this weekend they'll hold an open house and tours of their newly 
remodeled facility and new student annex as a commemorative 
celebration.
  In an area where there are no community colleges, DuBois Business 
College has filled a need over its history

and continues to offer quality and affordable education in the fields 
of accounting, business management, medical, legal, information 
technology, graphic arts, computer applications, and even movie making.
  It is my pleasure to congratulate this institution on its anniversary 
and to wish them continued success and growth.
