                                CENTURY

                                 ______


                            HON. TOM LANTOS

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, October 11, 1995

  Mr. LANTOS. Mr. Speaker, I invite my colleagues to join me in 
welcoming Dr. Margaret A. Huber as the 16th president of the College of 
Notre Dame in Belmont, CA. As Dr. Huber is inaugurated, I am confident 
that her proven leadership abilities will allow the college to build 
upon its foundation of success and its commitment to the education of 
the whole person. Dr. Huber will lead the College of Notre Dame into 
the 21st century as an elite institution in the world of academia.
  Upon earning a bachelor of science in chemistry from Duquesne 
University, a master of science administration from the University of 
Notre Dame in Indiana, and a Ph.D. in higher education at the 
University of Michigan, Dr. Huber began her administrative career in 
Santa Fe, NM. There she served as the executive director of the 
Archdiocese of Santa Fe Catholic Foundation, distinguishing herself as 
a future leader.
  From there, Dr. Huber moved to La Roche College in Pittsburgh, PA. 
Working as president of the college from 1981 to 1992, she helped to 
increase the enrollment by 47 percent and the gifts by an outstanding 
1000 percent. Dr. Huber also created long-range planning and budgeting 
processes which helped in the redirecting of the mission of the 
college.
  Throughout her distinguished career, Dr. Huber has been honored by a 
number of organizations, including Zonta International with their 
Status of Women Award.
  Arriving at the College of Notre Dame, the first accredited all 
women's college in the State of California, Dr. Huber has drawn from 
her experience at La Roche College by developing a new master plan and 
creating new marketing and technology plans for the college that will 
be put into practice next year. She continues to strive towards the 
goals of preparing the students of Notre Dame to be better citizens, to 
be aware of the world and its affairs, to develop stronger characters 
and self confidence, and to build a sense of community among all the 
students.
  According to its mission statement, the College of Notre Dame is 
``dedicated to the search for truth, the transmission of knowledge, and 
the appreciation of beauty.'' I am confident that Dr. Huber will devote 
herself to these pursuits, thereby making the College of Notre Dame the 
best it can possibly be.
  Leading the College into its third century of existence, Dr. Huber's 
efforts to fulfill the goals of the College have already spurred growth 
in the college's many programs. Mr. Speaker, colleagues, please join me 
in wishing Dr. Huber all the best as she sets about her difficult but 
extremely important task of educating the leaders of our future.
