                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 10, 2010

  Mr. SMITH of Nebraska. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Hastings College President Phil Dudley for his exemplary service to 
Nebraska students and his community as a whole.
  President Dudley has announced his retirement after nearly 40 years 
of dedication to Hastings College, including 10 years as President. His 
service is precluded by his doctoral education in economics and many 
leadership positions within Hastings College and the surrounding 
community.
  As Hastings College President, President Dudley is credited for the 
construction of the Osborne Family Sports Complex, Barrett Family 
Alumni Center, Bronco Village Apartments, and the Morrison-Reeves 
Science Center.
  President Dudley's embrace and promotion of service learning on the 
campus has led Hastings College students and faculty to dedicate 
100,000 hours of their time to civic engagement. In recognition, 
Hastings College has been named to the President's Higher Education 
Community Service Honor Roll.
  His dedication to students is further exemplified in the expansion of 
academic programs. This includes the addition of majors in 
biochemistry, biopsychology, wildlife biology, and a nursing dual 
degree with Creighton University and Mary Lanning Memorial Hospital.

  President Dudley's passionate commitment to Hastings College and its 
students will be missed as he retires in July of 2011, but his support 
of the institution will continue after his retirement as President 
Dudley will work with the Hastings College Foundation to manage the 
college's fund-raising and alumni activities.
  I congratulate Phil on his outstanding career in higher education and 
thank him for his contributions to Nebraska's educational reputation.
