                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 9, 1999

  Mr. CAMP. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Dr. Dorothy N. 
Frank, who is retiring after nine years of dedicated service as 
president of Kirtland Community College in Roscommon, MI.
  Dr. Frank began her distinguished career at Kirtland Community 
College in 1990 after serving as vice president for instructional 
services at Victor Valley Community College in California. Her 
impressive credentials include a master's and a bachelor's degree in 
biology, and a Ph.D. in educational policy studies from Vanderbilt 
University.
  While at Kirtland, Dr. Frank was instrumental in the creation of 
community programs that helped enrich the lives of children of all 
ages. These programs included cultural events, a volunteer center, a 
summer camp for fourth grade MEAP passers, technical training for high 
school students, and a summer creative writing institute.
  Her dedication to community colleges and her own community is evident 
in her work. In addition to her Kirtland duties, Dr. Frank was 
president of the Michigan Community College Association for the 1996-
1997 academic year. She also serves on several local boards and 
committees.
  I would like to commend Dr. Frank for her service to her students and 
congratulate her on her retirement on September 30, 1999.
  Dr. Frank's contribution to education and the community makes her an 
outstanding role model and a respected professional in her field. On 
behalf of the residents of the 4th Congressional District of Michigan, 
I am honored to recognize Dr. Frank and her professional 
accomplishments. I wish her good fortune for the future.
