                        Thursday, June 29, 2017

  Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, I am honored to commend to the House the 
many contributions of Dr. Marvin Krislov. Dr. Krislov is departing the 
presidency of Oberlin College and Conservatory tomorrow after ten years 
of distinguished service in that office.
  A Rhodes Scholar and a graduate of Yale Law School, Dr. Krislov 
initially pursued a career in law, clerking for the United States 
District Court for the Northern District of California in San 
Francisco. He then spent three years working at the White House 
Counsel's Office and then in various senior roles at the Department of 
Labor.
  Dr. Krislov came to Oberlin College in 2007 after nine years as Vice 
President and General Counsel at the University of Michigan.

Over the last decade, the Oberlin community has benefited greatly from 
his outstanding management skills and willingness to engage with 
students, who hold him in the highest regard. Hundreds took advantage 
of his standing offer to meet personally with any graduating senior 
seeking career advice.
  To fulfill his desire to make the college more inclusive and 
accessible to students from every economic background, Dr. Krislov 
created the Oberlin Access Initiative. This initiative helped alleviate 
the loan burden of many lower-income students.
  Dr. Krislov has been hailed for his fundraising efforts--especially 
his leadership of the most successful comprehensive campaign in 
Oberlin's history, which came in well ahead of its goal and ahead of 
schedule. This campaign has allowed for significant campus expansions 
and renovations.
  Mr. Speaker, Dr. Krislov will soon assume the presidency of Pace 
University in New York. On behalf of the people of Ohio's Fourth 
Congressional District, I offer him my thanks for his long and 
distinguished career at Oberlin. His legacy of innovative and earnest 
leadership will benefit Oberlin College for years to come. I wish him 
and his family every success as they move to this new chapter in their 
lives.
