HONORING MIAMI DADE COLLEGE WOLFSON CAMPUS PRESIDENT DR. JOSE A.
VICENTE
(Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Dr. Jose A.
Vicente, who is retiring from his post as president of Wolfson Campus
of Miami Dade College, where each year 27,000 students receive a high-
quality education in the heart of downtown Miami.
Dr. Vicente's retirement marks the end of an amazing 42-year career
at my alma mater, Miami Dade College. Dr. Vicente's commitment to
education is evident not only from his varied teaching and
administrative roles at Miami Dade College, but also through his active
involvement as a board member in national education groups, including
the American Association of Community Colleges and the Hispanic
Association of Colleges and Universities, known as HACU.
Congratulations to Dr. Jose Vicente on his well-deserved retirement.
I thank him for his wonderful legacy of enhanced educational
opportunities that will continue to benefit our South Florida community
for years to come.
Godspeed, Jose.
