                       HONORING ANTOINE GARIBALDI

  (Mrs. DAHLKEMPER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. DAHLKEMPER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a great leader in 
Erie, Pennsylvania, Antoine Garibaldi, the sixth president of Gannon 
University.
  Dr. Garibaldi has been a dynamic force in higher education and 
throughout the community. Since 2001, he has worked to ensure that 
Gannon remains a world-class university. Dr. Garibaldi's visionary 
leadership has helped Gannon's enrollment grow by more than 24 percent.
  With his wife, Carol, Antoine has led revitalization efforts to make 
downtown Erie a vibrant, thriving area. The Garibaldis' work benefits 
not only the students of Gannon but the whole of the Erie community. I 
am grateful for their commitment to our city.
  Antoine Garibaldi is a pillar in the Erie community, and it is with 
grateful hearts that we wish him the greatest of fortune as he takes on 
the role of president of the University of Detroit Mercy next year.
  Dr. Garibaldi's service in the area will be greatly missed, and we 
thank him for all that he has done.
