  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, in commemoration of Black 
History Month, I would like to take this opportunity to recognize the 
many accomplishments of distinguished African Americans in 
Mississippi's Second Congressional District.
  Today I rise to pay tribute to Mrs. Beverly W. Hogan. Mrs. Hogan is 
the current President of Tougaloo College. Mrs. Hogan has a bachelors 
of art degree in Psychology. Mrs. Hogan then received a Master's degree 
in public policy and administration from Jackson State University. She 
has done additional studies at the University of Southern Mississippi, 
University of Georgia and St. Mary College. Mrs. Hogan is presently 
pursuing a doctorate in organizational management and leadership at the 
University of Phoenix.
  Before becoming President of Tougaloo College, Mrs. Hogan had twenty-
five years of experience in executive management and leadership in 
which she has many accomplishments. In 1975, she established the first

crisis center and shelter for battered women. Mrs. Logan has held many 
prestigious positions within the government of Mississippi. A few of 
these positions include the Executive Assistant to the President and 
Vice President of Institutional Development, and a member of the 
Governors' Association Welfare Prevention Task Force.
  One of Mrs. Logan's latest accomplishments includes completing a two-
year assignment as a new scholar with the Kettering Foundation. Mrs. 
Hogan's dedication to her professional and civic contributions has 
received her recognition. She has received numerous honors, to cite a 
selected few; she was named the State Administrator of the year in 1986 
by the American Society of Public Administration, A Toll Fellow by the 
Council of State Governments in 1987, and Woman of the Year by the 
Business and Professional Women Club in 1989.
  Mrs. Hogan is also an active member of her community. She volunteers 
and serves on various boards, including the United Way, Mississippi 
Women's Political Network, Mississippi Infant Task Force and the 
Mississippi Symphony Orchestra.
