                        Tuesday, March 14, 2006

  Mr. KILDEE. Mr. Speaker, today I am paying tribute to Robert V. 
Jewell, as he is honored by the University of Michigan-Flint alumni 
society. The Alumni Society is presenting their Campus Service Award to 
Rob at a ceremony on March 23 in Flint, Michigan.
  The Campus Service Award is given to a volunteer making a significant 
contribution of time, talent, and service to the University of 
Michigan-Flint. Rob was chosen to receive this award for his work on 
the Alumni Society Board of Governors. He has served on the board for 
over 15 years and has completed two stints as the chairperson. In 
addition he has played a vital role in the development of the 
University's School of Education and Human Services Alumni Affiliate.
  After graduating with a bachelor of arts degree in sociology with a 
minor in social work in 1978, Rob began his career of service to the 
Flint community. He has worked or volunteered for numerous community-
based organizations, educational institutions and religious groups. 
Blending the fresh with the practical he has established a reputation 
in the community for energetic, enthusiastic problem solving.
  Currently working as development coordinator for the Hurley 
Foundation, Rob works to bring together the people and funds to improve 
Hurley Medical Center and the Flint area. For many he is known as ``Mr. 
Hurley.'' He brings that same commitment to his work on behalf of the 
University of Michigan-Flint as he strives to improve the lifelong 
educational experience of its students and alumni.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask the House of Representatives to congratulate 
Robert V. Jewell as he receives the Campus Service Award from the 
University of Michigan-Flint Alumni Society.
