“Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate the College of Engineering and Computing at my alma mater, Florida International University, known as FIU, on its 30th anniversary of proven excellence in producing high-quality graduates. The college was established with one mission in mind: to provide public access education to those interested in these fields and to serve as an instrument for economic development in our vibrant south Florida community. They have accomplished that and much more. From using nanotechnology to improve human health to building superior bridges, people's lives across the country are impacted each and every day in a positive way through FIU's STEM graduates. FIU has also created many programs to encourage young students to pursue careers in STEM fields. Their latest innovative approach was to create an Accelerated Technology Magnet Program that would prepare low- income high school students for employment and educational options in computer science and information technology. I am certain FIU will continue to lead and produce more skilled professionals in these fields. Go, FIU. Go, Golden Panthers. ____________________”
