“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mohawk Valley Community College on its historic 75th anniversary this year. MVCC first opened its doors to students in October of 1946. Back then it was known as New York State Institute of Applied Arts and Science. Since those early days, MVCC has grown tremendously and today boasts more than 6,000 full- or part-time students. MVCC was founded on the principle of adapting its programs to fit the needs of our region, and, boy, they have done that. It has played an important role in developing our workforce and empowering students to achieve their goals and be of service to our community. MVCC molds students into leaders and continues to be an incredible institution for our community. It is one of the great 11 colleges and universities in New York's 22nd District. I want to personally thank President Randy VanWagoner for his leadership and wish MVCC the greatest successes over the next 75 years. I am grateful to MVCC for all they have done, and for being a college near my neighborhood. Congratulating Canastota Girls Field Hockey Team”
