                         HON. ALCEE L. HASTINGS

                        Monday, February 5, 2007

  Mr. HASTINGS of Florida. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
hard work and commitment of the Keiser family. Evelyn Keiser was born 
in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and graduated from Temple University. She 
was one of the first women in the United States to receive a Bachelors 
Degree in Medical Technology.
  Evelyn Keiser moved to south Florida in 1961 and co-founded Keiser 
College in 1977. Art & Belinda Keiser, along with Evelyn, have 
continued to serve our community by providing superior education 
through Keiser College, now known as Keiser University.
  The Keiser Family continues to contribute to Broward County and the 
State of Florida, not only through their educational institutions, but 
also through philanthropy. Keiser University will celebrate their 30th 
Anniversary in 2007.
  Madam Speaker, I proclaim January 31, 2007, as Keiser University Day 
in the 23rd Congressional District.
