                     IN HONOR OF RAYMOND S. ANGELI

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. LOU BARLETTA

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, August 12, 2011

  Mr. BARLETTA. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to acknowledge Raymond S. 
Angeli, President of Lackawanna College, for his outstanding service to 
both his community as well as the students he has tirelessly 
represented since 1994. President Angeli's departure from Lackawanna 
College will surely be a loss for not only the College, but for all who 
matriculate there.
  President Angeli is no stranger to serving both his community and his 
country. Prior to his position at Lackawanna College, he was a 
Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Army. He has also served as a 
representative to the Southwest Asia Working Group in the Pentagon, 
Deputy Director of U.S. army Personnel in Sattiip, Thailand, a 
Department of Defense Inspector General, and Secretary of the 
Department of Community Affairs of Pennsylvania under Governor Robert 
Casey.
  Lackawanna College has seen unprecedented growth under the helm of 
President Angeli. The College moved to their current Scranton location 
in 1996. This move made the College more accessible to students as well 
as providing the space for a plethora of academic opportunities. To 
this campus, President Angeli has also seen the addition of a theater, 
a student center and dormitories. Lackawanna College did not stop 
expanding; President Angeli's legacy includes the New Milford location 
as well as the expansion of the Lake Region campus.
  Mr. Speaker, I recognize Lackawanna College President Raymond S. 
Angeli or his promotion of educational priorities in Northeastern 
Pennsylvania. He has truly played an integral role in ensuring that 
this community's youth has the tools to have successful futures.
