                     TRIBUTE TO DR. PING-TUNG CHANG

 Mr. BEGICH. Mr. President, today I congratulate Dr. Ping-Tung 
Chang, the recipient of the U.S. Outstanding Community Colleges 
Professor of the Year Award. This award is recognized as one of the 
most prestigious honors bestowed upon a professor, and this is the 
second time Professor Chang has won a Professor of the Year award.
  To be nominated for this award requires dedication to the art of 
education and excellence in every aspect of the profession. Professor 
Chang should be proud of this accomplishment as he has been personally 
vested in each student and has helped shape the leaders of tomorrow.
  In his 24 years at Matanuska-Susitna College, Professor Chang has 
taught mathematics to nearly 6,000 students and has successfully 
established a scholarship fund for students. Professor Chang has used 
innovative methods to get students excited about mathematics and 
problem solving. I commend him for his leadership and passion for 
educating.
  Professor Chang, I wish you the very best in all your endeavors. 
Congratulations and best regards.
