                        Tuesday, March 23, 2010

  Mr. NEUGEBAUER. Madam Speaker, I want to recognize Dr. Royce Money 
for his dedication to Abilene Christian University and, in particular, 
for his 19 years of service as the university's president. As Dr. Money 
transitions to the role of chancellor, I join with the ACU community in 
thanking him for all he has done for the university.
  Dr. Money obtained both his bachelor's and master of divinity degrees 
from Abilene Christian University, and he holds a Ph.D in religion from 
Baylor University. He continued his education later at the University 
of Nebraska, where he received an additional master's degree in human 
development and the family.
  Dr. Money and his wife of 45 years, Pam, have both been an integral 
part of ACU and the Abilene community. Pam Money is a licensed marriage 
and family therapist and has served as an adjunct professor in the 
College of Biblical Studies at ACU. They have two daughters, Alison and 
Jennifer, and are proud grandparents of David, Elizabeth, Andrew, 
Jonathan, and Caleb. Their favorite hobbies include anything that 
involves their children and grandchildren.
  Dr. Money is a current board member and past chairman of the 
Independent Colleges and Universities of Texas and a past chairman of 
the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities. He was named 
Abilene's ``Citizen of the Year'' for 2007 by the Abilene Chamber of 
Commerce.
  Dr. Royce Money was appointed president of Abilene Christian 
University June 1, 1991 after serving as an associate professor, 
department chairman, vice president and provost. Upon his retirement, 
he will take over the role of chancellor of the university where he 
will continue to be a strong leader and advocate for ACU. Both Royce 
and Pam's continued service to the university is greatly appreciated 
and highly recognized by the city of Abilene and the students, faculty 
and staff of ACU.
  I want to again commend Dr. Money for his service as the president of 
ACU, and I look forward to his continued leadership as chancellor.
