      CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY PROJECT ADVANCE

  (Mr. WILLIAMS of New York asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILLIAMS of New York. Mr. Speaker, 50 years ago, Syracuse 
University made a commitment to high school students to help prepare 
them for college. It also made a commitment to educators to help them 
continue to grow in their profession, and it made a commitment to the 
education community as a whole to continue important research.
  The Syracuse University Project Advance is an enhanced concurrent 
enrollment project that is serving over 200 other partner schools. It 
has helped more than 750 educators become Syracuse University adjuncts.
  We celebrate 50 years of the Syracuse University Project Advance 
program today. As a supporter of choice in education, I applaud SU for 
their continued efforts locally to provide programs that give students 
access to the tools necessary for their careers and prepare them for 
college.
  The Syracuse University Project Advance increases dialogue between a 
major local university and our local high schools. It offers innovative 
courses, and it allows students the option to stay local and be 
prepared for the next chapters in their lives right in their hometowns.
