                        Thursday, April 10, 2014

  Mr. FLORES. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Doug and Sadie 
Hodo of Texas. In light of their commitment to Christian higher 
education in Texas, Houston Baptist University is dedicating the Sadie 
and Doug Hodo Residence College on their campus.
  Dr. Doug Hodo served as the second President of Houston Baptist 
University from 1987 to 2006. During that time, Dr. Hodo's wife, Sadie 
served as First Lady of Houston Baptist University.
  It is a true honor to acknowledge Doug and Sadie Hodo's service and 
dedication to Houston Baptist University as well as their commitment to 
Christian higher education.
  Under the leadership of Dr. Hodo, Houston Baptist University 
developed new academic programs and expanded its campus facilities. 
During his service as president, he created an integrated leadership 
team that resulted in informed decision making and effective internal 
communication processes for the University. As First Lady of Houston 
Baptist University, Sadie Hodo served the university with grace and 
distinction.
  On February 18, 2014, the Houston Baptist University Board of 
Trustees unanimously approved the dedication of the residence college 
to Doug and Sadie Hodo. The dedication will take place on April 28, 
2015.
  Sadie and Doug Hodo's visionary leadership and extraordinary love for 
students built Houston Baptist University to be the great University 
that it is today--and they kept Christ at the center of both the 
University and their own lives while doing so.
  God bless Sadie and Doug Hodo and God Bless the United States of 
America.
