                       Wednesday, April 30, 2014

  Ms. NORTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to ask my colleagues in the 
House to join me in recognizing Dr. Christopher ``Chris'' Arterton, the 
Founding Dean of the nation's first school for professional politics, 
The George Washington University (GWU) Graduate School of Political 
Management who will be leaving his full-time post at GWU, but will 
remain on staff serving in a research capacity.
  Dr. Arterton earned his B.A. from Trinity College, his M.A. from 
American University and his PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of 
Technology. Dr. Arterton is a distinguished author who has written 
several books on American politics and leadership. He is also a noted 
expert in political strategy and tactics, public opinion, and ethics 
and leadership in politics. His vision is to make democracy work where 
it is welcomed around the globe.
  Prior to coming to GWU, Dr. Arterton was a professor at Yale 
University for 10 years, teaching in both the Political Science 
Department and the School of Organization and Management. Additionally, 
Dr. Arterton played an active role at The Institute of Politics at 
Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government, having served on 
five faculty study groups.
  Dr. Arterton's research, his 20 years of teaching, and his 
considerable experience as a consultant on American public opinion make 
him an expert on the strategic environment of American political 
leaders, an area that encompasses the news media and communications 
technology generally and political strategy. Dr. Arterton continues to 
travel around the globe to teach about democracy.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Dr. 
Christopher Arterton with heartfelt congratulations on a job well done 
for GWU and our country.
