                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 19, 2014

  Mr. KILDEE. Mr. Speaker, I ask the House of Representatives to join 
me in recognizing Dr. Richard Shaink, Mott Community College's longest 
serving president, as he prepares to retire after 14 years of 
leadership and service. Mott Community College is a multi-campus 
institution serving Flint and Genesee County, Michigan.
   He possesses a unique blend of business, community, economic 
development and educational experience having served as a former 
college campus president, multi-campus vice president, instruction 
dean, college business/industry director, shopping center general 
manager, industrial sales representative, production line supervisor, 
full-time high school vocational teacher, and an adjunct instructor at 
Michigan State University, Ferris State University, and Lansing 
Community College.
   He received his Ph.D. in Educational Administration from Michigan 
State University, but affirms that he is most proud of the Associate of 
Arts degree he earned at Jackson Junior College.
   In 2010, Dr. Shaink received the Marie Y. Martin Chief Executive 
Office of the Year Award from the Association of Community College 
Trustees, a national organization of governing boards representing more 
than 6,500 elected and appointed trustees who govern over 1,200 
community, technical, and junior colleges in the USA and beyond. 
Moreover, under his leadership, Mott Community College was also the 
recipient of the 2011 Aspen Institute's College of Excellence Award 
designating MCC as one of the ten best community colleges in the United 
States.
   Mr. Speaker, I applaud Dr. Richard Shaink for his exemplary 
leadership in Genesee County and congratulate him on his retirement.
