  Mr. KNOLLENBERG. Mr. Speaker, I want to recognize the extraordinary 
and diverse career and accomplishments of Dr. Charles M. Chambers. I 
extend my congratulations on his recent appointment as chancellor of 
Lawrence Technological University, and I recognize his dedication to 
education throughout Michigan and the world.
  Dr. Chambers has already left an indelible mark on Lawrence Tech 
through his thirteen years as President, a trend that will certainly 
continue under his direction as chancellor of the University. Under his 
leadership, Lawrence Tech has set a number of records and has achieved 
national recognition as an institution dedicated to innovative and 
effective methods of education, often setting the standard to which 
other universities strive. Among the many accomplishments Lawrence Tech 
has made under Dr. Chambers' Presidency is its status as Michigan's 
first wireless laptop campus, contributing to Lawrence Tech's 
recognition as one of the top fifty unwired campuses in the country.
  Throughout his service to Lawrence Tech, Dr. Chambers has 
demonstrated his dedication to the enhancement and expansion of 
education through the dramatic transformation of Lawrence Tech's 
campus, the enormous increase in student scholarships and community 
outreach, and the expansion of academic programs offered at Lawrence 
Tech, including its first doctoral programs. Additionally, Dr. Chambers 
has overseen the creation of learning centers and higher education 
partnerships worldwide.
  Dr. Charles M. Chambers has served Lawrence Technological University 
and the State of Michigan with honor and pride throughout the duration 
of his career with the University. I congratulate him on his recent 
appointment, which is a direct result of his continued dedication to 
education and to the success of Lawrence Technological University.
