                  IN HONOR OF SISTER VERONICA SKILLIN

                                 ______


                           HON. ANNA G. ESHOO

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Wednesday, May 4, 1994

  Ms. ESHOO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a dedicated public 
servant and outstanding educator, Sister Veronica Skillin, on the 
occasion of her retirement as president of the College of Notre Dame.
  Through her remarkable leadership, Sister Veronica has brought many 
changes to the College of Notre Dame. As president, she has helped that 
institution grow in size, strength, and reputation, as exemplified by 
the rich diversity of its student body, the construction of its Gleason 
Center gymnasium, and the development of its governance board. Sister 
Veronica has also successfully cultivated a community spirit among the 
students, faculty, and staff at the College of Notre Dame, so each 
individual knows that his or her work is appreciated.
  Sister Veronica's dedication to education extends far beyond her role 
as college president. As a long time member of the education community, 
she has worked with young people as an elementary school teacher, 
principal of Notre Dame Elementary School, principal of Notre Dame High 
School, coordinator of in-service programs for the University of San 
Francisco School of Education, and dean of students at the College of 
Notre Dame.
  Mr. Speaker, Sister Veronica is an outstanding educator and human 
being who has made a difference in many people's lives. She has gained 
the utmost respect and regard of those who have worked with her and 
whom she has served. I ask my colleagues to join me in saluting Sister 
Veronica Skillin for her countless contributions to our community and 
our children.
