  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dr. 
Virginia Carson and her retirement as President of South Georgia State 
College on June 30.
  A graduate of the University of Georgia with Master's and Doctorate 
degrees from Georgia State University, Dr. Carson is no stranger to 
success.
  During her 8 year tenure as President of South Georgia State College, 
she showed an unbelievable commitment to fostering her students' 
ambition and educational growth.
  This dedication to her students has been instrumental to the success 
of the college and has ensured her students' success for years to come.
  Dr. Carson prided herself on keeping a tightknit community with small 
class sizes and encouraging students to engage in extracurricular 
activities, which also enhanced campus life.
  Although the true importance of Dr. Carson's service cannot be 
measured, I am honored to congratulate her for her hard work and 
dedication to higher education.
