                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 10, 2013

  Mr. COOK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor Dr. Cheryl 
A. Marshall who will be inducted as the seventh president of Crafton 
Hills College on September 27, 2013.
  Dr. Marshall has had a distinguished career in the field of 
education. Having received her doctorate of education from the 
University of Southern California, Dr. Marshall has spent ten of the 
last twenty years as an educator in positions of leadership, changing 
the lives of her students for the better. As a member of the Inland 
Empire Economic Partnership's Education Council, she has contributed to 
the region-wide effort to address educational gaps and prepare our 
students for a strong presence in the workforce. As a former educator, 
I believe it is her specialization in educational management, strategic 
planning, and performance management that sets her apart.
  A firm believer in the intrinsic value of education, Dr. Marshall 
fully understands and appreciates the vital role that education plays 
in our society. Having secured close to $9 million dollars in grant 
funding during her career, she has been able to safeguard various 
programs and services would always be available in order for her 
students to succeed. During her tenure as Vice President of 
Instruction, Dr. Marshall ensured Crafton Hills College received full 
accreditation within just two years. Such dedication, exemplified by 
Dr. Marshall, makes Crafton Hills College an excellent institution of 
higher learning.
  In closing, I'd like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to Dr. 
Marshall, her husband Patrick and their two children on her 
inauguration. I look forward to seeing Crafton Hills College grow and 
prosper under her experienced direction.
