______

Tuesday, August 10, 2021
Ms. STEFANIK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Paul Smith's College.
Paul Smith's College received its first class in 1946 on the grounds of the former Paul Smith's Hotel, the Adirondacks' first wilderness resort. Since then, Paul Smith's College has graduated thousands of students from around the nation. Over the past 75 years, the college has expanded to include unique degree programs ranging from the natural sciences, to forestry, to culinary arts. Paul Smith's degree programs offer students a wide variety of opportunities to prepare for their future career. The faculty and staff are dedicated to the success of their students, with 90 percent finding employment or enrolling in graduate school within 6 months of graduating. Of the approximately 750 students, 46 percent the first in their family to go to college. These numbers speak to the impact that the college has had in the lives of students and the community.
Paul Smith's College has been a vital resource to the North Country and continues to serve the region well as it has the past 75 years. On behalf of New York's 21st district, I would like to congratulate the students, faculty, staff, and leadership team at Paul Smith's College on reaching this milestone. I look forward to their continued success.
