                 IN HONOR OF DEAN CARMEN TWILLIE AMBAR

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. FRANK PALLONE, JR.

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 26, 2008

  Mr. PALLONE. Madam Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I rise 
today in recognition of Dean Carmen Twillie Ambar. I join with 
President Richard L. McCormick and all of Rutgers University in 
honoring Dean Ambar for her outstanding tenure at Douglass and for her 
recent appointment as President of the Cedar Crest College.
  During her tenure as dean of Douglass, Dean Ambar demonstrated her 
commitment to the educational advancement of women by leading the fight 
to save Douglass College. Dedicated to women's success and leadership, 
Douglass is a unique institution that has enabled countless young women 
to receive an excellent education and fulfill their potential as 
leaders in public service, academia, and business.
  In addition, Dean Ambar's exemplary service and dedication to 
Douglass was evident in her pursuit of women's global leadership. Dean 
Ambar spearheaded programs that showcased and promoted women's 
leadership skills and encouraged young women to pursue careers in math, 
science, and technology.
  Madam Speaker, it is my sincere hope that my colleagues will join me 
in honoring and recognizing Dean Ambar for her invaluable contributions 
to Douglass and the greater Rutgers University community.
