                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 30, 2015

  Mr. MEEHAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Dr. Karen Stout for her 
outstanding dedication as President of Montgomery County Community 
College.
   Dr. Stout is moving on after fourteen years of service as President. 
Her tenure has brought the college success and expansion at a time of 
remarkable transformation in higher education. Under her leadership, 
the college has been an example of management and vision for community 
colleges in Pennsylvania.
   Her initiatives have reshaped the college's campus, forged new and 
important partnerships in the Montgomery County community, and given 
students access to programs that will teach them the skills they need 
for the jobs of the future. Dr. Stout is a visionary not only in her 
work with students and the community, but also because of the 
particular emphasis she has had on creating opportunity for our 
veterans. Her leadership will certainly be missed, but she has left the 
college strong and poised for continued prosperity in the future.
   Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the 7th district of Pennsylvania, I want 
to thank Dr. Stout for all she has done to educate countless students 
and I look forward to working with her again in her future endeavors.
