  Ms. SINEMA. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in 
celebrating the 50th anniversary of the School of Social Work at 
Arizona State University.
  Since 1963, the School of Social Work has prepared its students for 
careers that allow them to serve and provide assistance to individuals, 
families, and communities. With over 1,300 diverse students and 8,000 
alumni, the ASU School of Social Work is one of the largest social work 
programs in the country. Through innovative research and service 
efforts, the school is actively developing social service systems that 
will greatly aid our society. As an alumna of the program, I served as 
a social worker at Sunnyslope Elementary School, and I realize the 
difference that graduates from the School of Social Work can make in 
the lives of Arizona families.
  Finally, from my experience teaching at the ASU School of Social Work 
for over 10 years, I can confidently say that the school prepares its 
students to take on the challenges of tomorrow and give our country a 
bright future. It has been such a privilege to spend time with them, 
and I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating the ASU School of 
Social Work and its students for 50 years of passionate commitment to 
our community.
