  Mr. PAYNE. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I rise today to 
recognize an outstanding educator and dear friend, Dr. Rose J. 
Campbell. An exceptional constituent and a dedicated member of the 
education community, Dr. Campbell is a true shining star.
  Receiving her Bachelors Degree from Florida A&M University, her 
Masters in Education from William Patterson College, and her Doctorate 
from Nova Southeastern University, Dr. Campbell has succeeded in every 
facet of education. From 1968 to the present, Dr. Campbell has been an 
active member of the Newark Public School System. Beginning her career 
as a classroom teacher and moving through the ranks to her current 
position within the Administration as Assistant Executive 
Superintendent with a specialty in supervision and curriculum, Dr. 
Campbell has dedicated her life to education.
  In addition to her dedication within the classroom, Dr. Campbell has 
also involved herself with giving back to the community in many other 
ways. Dr. Campbell is President of the Florida A&M University Alumni 
Association New Jersey Chapter, President of the New Jersey Unit of the 
National Association of Negro Business and Professional Women's Clubs 
Inc., President of the Board of Directors for Day Nurseries Inc. as 
well as a member of Trinity/St. Phillips Cathedral Church. In each of 
her civic and community endeavors, Dr. Campbell makes a difference by 
her devoted and committed participation.
  As a member of the Education & the Workforce Committee here in the 
U.S. House of Representatives I am extremely aware of the growing need 
for quality educators in our public school systems. Dr. Campbell sets a 
shining example for our younger generations of the success they can 
achieve and of the way in which they too can one day aspire to give 
back to their community.
  Mr. Speaker, I know that my colleagues here in the U.S. House of 
Representatives join me today is saluting Dr. Rose J. Campbell for her 
many years of dedicated service as an educator and in wishing her the 
very best for the future.
