                      TRIBUTE TO PATRICIA J. KOLL

 Mr. KOHL. Mr. President, I rise today to pay tribute to one of 
Wisconsin's premier educators. Dr. Patricia J. Koll is retiring this 
May after a distinguished 31-year career with the University of 
Wisconsin-Oshkosh.
  Born and raised in Wisconsin, Patricia has excelled in the field of 
Education. Working as a professor of education and assistant vice 
chancellor, she has authored numerous books and received many accolades 
for her work. She was honored in both 1991 and 1992 with the Wisconsin 
Teacher Educator of the Year Award. She has also been a recipient of 
the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh John McN Rosebush award, the 
university's highest award for scholarly excellence.
  Patricia has been an instrumental part of education development in 
the state. She has served as president of both the Wisconsin 
Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development and the Northern 
Wisconsin chapter of the American Society for Training and Development. 
In addition, she has worked with many school districts providing 
invaluable leadership experience and expertise.
  Patricia's dedication and talent have been enormous assets to the 
University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh and the Oshkosh community. Her talents 
will be sorely missed by her colleagues. However, we wish Patricia all 
the best for her retirement.
