                        Tuesday, April 29, 2008

  Mr. STARK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Dr. Douglas 
M. Treadway, who is retiring as president/superintendent of the Ohlone 
Community College District based in Fremont, California. Dr. Treadway 
assumed his duties at Ohlone on July 1, 2003. He is retiring on May 16, 
2008, at which time his friends, admirers and colleagues will pay 
tribute to his exemplary leadership in education.
  Dr. Treadway holds a Ph.D. in counseling psychology from Northwestern 
University and pursued postdoctoral study at Harvard University. In 
addition to his chief executive officer career, he has served on the 
faculties of Northwestern University, the University of Hawaii and 
Oregon State University. He is the author of 20 research and scholarly 
publications in the fields of higher education, community and human 
development.
  Prior to his tenure at Ohlone College, Dr. Treadway served 9 years as 
president/superintendent of Shasta College in Redding, California. He 
has held other higher education executive officer positions including: 
chancellor of the North Dakota University System, president of 
Southwest Minnesota State University and president of Western Montana 
State College.
  During his time as president/superintendent of Ohlone College, 
enrollment has grown by 10 percent, with a total enrollment at the 
college exceeding 19,000 students annually.
  Under his visionary leadership, the Ohlone College Newark campus was 
developed on vacant land to become a 135,000 square-foot Center for the 
Health Sciences and Technology, enrolling close to 3,000 students 
during its first semester.
  As one of the founders of the American Association of Sustainability 
in Higher Education, Dr. Treadway lead Ohlone to adopt an environmental 
sustainability policy that has resulted in LEED platinum certification 
for the Ohlone College Newark Center from the U.S. Green Building 
Council.
  Dr. Treadway's community and professional service is exemplary. He 
has devoted many hours providing leadership in education and making a 
difference through his involvement in community service organizations.
  Maximizing human potential in teaching, learning and leadership has 
been the hallmark of Dr. Treadway's work during his tenure in 
education. He has achieved a level of excellence and commitment that is 
a model of success. I wish Dr. Treadway every success with his well-
deserved retirement.
