Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mrs. FEDORCHAK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the University of North Dakota for earning the Gold Award as a 2025-2026 Military Friendly School.

UND was named among the nation's top 10 military-spouse friendly schools nationwide. This honor places UND in the top 10 percent of universities across the U.S. for its commitment to serving our servicemembers, veterans, and their families.

UND's leadership reflects a long tradition of service that dates back to its founding. This gold recognition marks a proud milestone, especially with more than 2,000 military-affiliated students enrolled this year.

From peer-to-peer mentoring to faculty training and veteran advocacy, UND continues to raise the standard for how universities can support members of our military.

I congratulate President Armacost, Director Angie Carpenter, and the entire UND community for their dedication to those who defend our freedoms.
