                       TRIBUTE TO JEFFREY KUETER

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. TOM LATHAM

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, July 11, 2014

  Mr. LATHAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and congratulate 
Jeffrey Kueter for being named the next President of the University of 
Iowa Alumni Association. Mr. Kueter will succeed current President 
Vince Nelson at the end of this month.
   As any loyal Hawkeye knows, the UI Alumni Association is the trusted 
resource for more than 45,000 graduates who continue to stay involved 
in the university's community. The association has maintained an 
excellent reputation of keeping alumni engaged and united no matter how 
many miles may separate them from Iowa City.
   Since graduating from the University of Iowa in 1993, Mr. Kueter has 
maintained an unparalleled allegiance to his alma mater through the 
devotion of his time, resources, and efforts as an ambassador to the 
political science department. While in his current role as President of 
the George C. Marshall Institute in Arlington, Virginia, Jeffrey also 
has presided over the Capital Area Iowa Club of Washington, D.C. and 
served on the UI Alumni Association's Board of Directors for seven 
years. In 2011, Mr. Kueter was bestowed with the association's esteemed 
Distinguished Young Alumni Award for epitomizing what it means to 
pursue a rewarding, lifelong relationship with the university.
   Mr. Speaker, I can think of no better selection than Mr. Kueter to 
promote the University of Iowa Alumni Association's mission of 
strengthening the university through alumni engagement. Jeffrey's 
continued commitment to his university and home state throughout his 
professional endeavors embody the values espoused in the lecture halls 
of Iowa City and all across our great state. As the next association 
president, there is no doubt that Jeffrey will continue to focus his 
efforts to further the University of Iowa and its world-class alumni. I 
invite my colleagues in the House to join me in congratulating Mr. 
Kueter on his new position and I wish him the best of luck as he 
expands his integral role in leading Hawkeye Nation.
