                         Thursday, May 4, 2017

  Mr. DeFAZIO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize University of 
Oregon Assistant Vice President and University Registrar Sue Eveland 
who is retiring after fourteen years of service to the university.
  Ms. Eveland has been an invaluable member of the UO community since 
she was first hired in 2001 and subsequently with her appointment as 
the Interim University Registrar in 2008 and later University 
Registrar.
  During this time, Ms. Eveland also served as President of both the 
Pacific Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers 
(PACRAO) and the Oregon Association of Collegiate Registrars and 
Admissions Officers (OrACRAO), demonstrating her commitment not only to 
University of Oregon faculty, students and staff, but also to her 
colleagues nationwide. Prior to her career at the University of Oregon, 
Ms. Eveland spent 17 years at Iowa State University, serving in various 
roles in the Offices of Admissions and the Registrar.
  Colleagues report that Ms. Eveland has shown herself to be innovative 
and effective, bringing opportunities for staff development, growth and 
collaboration into each of her roles. Alongside her team at the UO, she 
was able to implement online grading, online course evaluations, an 
online graduation application and a schedule builder, among other 
efficiencies. Her work has continually simplified and improved the 
lives of the students she serves. Her colleagues say she encourages her 
staff to keep perspective, remain positive, be creative and have fun.
  Sue Eveland retires from the University of Oregon having dedicated 
nearly two decades to improving services for students. I join with the 
University of Oregon in recognizing Sue Eveland for her contributions 
to higher education, and I congratulate her for her many years of 
exemplary service.
