                        Thursday, March 5, 2009

  Mr. CALVERT. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and welcome a 
person whose passion for leadership and duty have distinguished him 
amongst his colleagues. I stand to recognize the Inauguration of the 
eighth Chancellor at the University of California, Riverside: Dr. 
Timothy P. White. The Inauguration ceremony will be held on March 17, 
2009.
  Chancellor White was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. His family 
would later immigrate to the United States where he would come to call 
California his home. A first-generation college graduate, Chancellor 
White has certainly made his family, who deeply values education, 
proud.
  Dr. White began his collegiate studies at Diablo Valley Community 
College, and later graduated Magna Cum Laude from the California State 
University of Fresno, where he received his Bachelor's Degree. He then 
pursued and obtained his Masters Degree from the California State 
University of Hayward. Later Dr. White added a doctorate in exercise 
physiology from the University of California, Berkeley to his resume.
  Chancellor White's curriculum vitae includes a long list of work 
throughout the United States as an educator and scientist at the 
University of Michigan, Oregon State University,

University of California Berkeley, the University of Idaho, and now the 
University of California Riverside. Chancellor White is internationally 
recognized for his discussion of physiology in various published 
medical journals and editorials. With more than 30 years of service in 
higher education, Dr. White's experience is not only an impressive 
accolade, but a symbol of his passion and tireless commitment toward 
the sharing of knowledge and ideas. The University of California, 
Riverside will benefit greatly from Dr. White's impressive knowledge 
and skills, especially as it embarks on the establishment of a medical 
school.
  Riverside is an area that calls for great leaders that are ready to 
achieve goals that will propel both the university and the community 
forward. Dr. White has proven he is a true leader and his experience 
and passion will greatly benefit UC Riverside, a proud part of the 
Riverside community and the state of California. Chancellor Timothy P. 
White represents a welcome addition to the University of California at 
Riverside and to the region it serves. On behalf of the Inland Empire 
delegation, I wholeheartedly welcome Dr. White as the eighth 
distinguished Chancellor of the University of California, Riverside and 
look forward to working with him for many years to come.
