areas of Oregon; and
  Whereas Western University of Health Sciences and Samaritan

the Pacific Northwest (COMP-Northwest); and
  Whereas COMP-Northwest will welcome its inaugural class on July
30, 2011, with an initial enrollment of 100 students; and
  Whereas COMP-Northwest will eventually enroll 400 students, and
its first class will graduate in 2015; now, therefore,
Be It Resolved by the Senate of the State of Oregon:
  That we, the members of the Senate of the Seventy-sixth
Legislative Assembly, congratulate the College of Osteopathic
Medicine of the Pacific Northwest, thank the founders for their
commitment to the people of Oregon and wish the college success
in the future.
