Congresswoman Betty McCollum (MN-04) joined all 33 women's college presidents today, including St. Catherine University President Becky Roloff, at a luncheon to receive the Excellence Award in honor of her work to empower and support women's colleges.

"I'm so pleased to receive this recognition from the Women's College Coalition today," Rep. McCollum said. "The Fourth District is proud to be home to St. Catherine University. This year, we worked together to secure federal funding dedicated to St. Kate's Advancing Scientific Excellence Initiative to prepare a diverse bench of women for impactful careers in STEAM fields and beyond. The success of women and girls in Minnesota and across our country is essential to our future."

Alongside Rep. McCollum, Reps. Rosa DeLauro, Barbara Lee, and Lucille Roybal-Allard received awards from the Women's College Coalition. The luncheon included remarks from WCC leadership, a meal and conversation. St. Catherine University President Becky Roloff presented Rep. McCollum with the WCC Excellence Award.
