                          HON. ROBERT E. LATTA

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 6, 2012

  Mr. LATTA. Mr. Speaker, it is my great pleasure to pay special 
tribute to an outstanding public servant in Ohio's Fifth Congressional 
District. Dr. Marsha S. Bordner is retiring from Terra State Community 
College, located in Fremont, Ohio, after spending over Thirty-Five 
years in the education field.
  Dr. Marsha S. Bordner became the President of Terra State Community 
College in 2003, following her time as the Vice President for Academic 
and Student Affairs at Clark State Community College in Springfield, 
Ohio. During her tenure as President at Terra State Community College, 
the school has seen record high enrollment levels, the redevelopment of 
the educational facilities to include state of the art equipment, and a 
new strategic plan to lead the college into the future.
  A resident of Catawba Island, Dr. Marsha S. Bordner has strived to 
expand the education of the area's residents not only through the 
collegiate setting, but by working with local public school systems to 
allow high school students to earn college credit through Terra State 
Community College. Dr. Marsha Bordner has also reinstated Terra State 
Community College's partnership with local communities through the 
offering of music performances of Terra State Community College faculty 
and students at area venues.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Dr. 
Marsha S. Bordner for her role in promoting and expanding the 
educational opportunities for the residents of Ohio's Fifth 
Congressional District. Our communities have undoubtedly benefited from 
her years of dedicated service. We wish Dr. Marsha S. Bordner all of 
the best upon her retirement as the President of Terra State Community 
College.
