COMMEMORATING THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF PATRICK HENRY COLLEGE
______
HON. MARK E. GREEN
of tennessee
in the house of representatives
Tuesday, July 13, 2021
Mr. GREEN of Tennessee. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor a great institution of higher education, Patrick Henry College, on the occasion of its 20th anniversary.
Through a commitment to high academic rigor, a fidelity to the spirit of the American founding, and an unwavering worldview grounded in biblical principles, Patrick Henry College has attracted excellent students from all 50 states and distinguished itself by forming alumni marked by their grace, humility, and wisdom.
Since its founding in 2000, Patrick Henry College has placed graduates in the White House and as clerks for four U.S. Supreme Court justices. Many alumni can be found leading in various roles of public service and helping to make our country and the world a better place.
It has captured 12 national moot court championships, the Nelson Mandela world championship, and last year was crowned national civic debate champion.
The United States of America is a better place because of the work of its alumni in the public square. I want to honor Michael Farris for having the vision and determination to plant Patrick Henry College for the purpose of educating future leaders and equipping them to have a strong Christian influence in their communities and the culture at large. I am confident that President Jack Haye and Dean Mark Mitchell will continue to lead Patrick Henry College with integrity and a steadfast commitment to faith and reason.
And I thank those alumni from my home state of Tennessee--Philip Bunn, Candace Curet, Jon De Troye, Noah Farley, Kayla Ferguson nee Griesemer, Jae Jared, Andrew Luchuk, Will McManus, Nathan Mingus, Shane Roberts, Justine Van Ness, and Timothy Wier.
Patrick Henry College has proven its worth over the past two decades, and I look forward to seeing this institution continue its work of forming young men and women of exemplary character and intellect for many years to come.
