                        Tuesday, April 24, 2007

  Mr. ANDREWS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Roger Dennis who is 
retiring as Provost of Rutgers University. Roger has been a member of 
the Camden Campus community in Camden, New Jersey for almost a quarter 
of a century, and I consider him a dear friend.
  Roger has greatly contributed to the reputation of excellence at 
Rutgers University. Serving as Provost since 1997, he fostered exciting 
developments in the City of Camden and the Southern New Jersey region. 
Among these initiatives are the Rutgers-Camden Technology Campus, the 
Senator Walter Rand Institute for Public Affairs, and the first 
doctoral program in children's studies to be offered on the Camden 
Campus. He has also spearheaded several ongoing improvements to the 
existing campus.
  Madam Speaker, I offer my congratulations to Roger Dennis for his 
outstanding years of service to Rutgers University and the City of 
Camden. Roger has been a trusted friend and I thank him for his support 
and advice over the years. I wish him all the best in his future 
endeavors.
