                      Wednesday, September 6, 2017

  Mr. JENKINS of West Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
hard work of Dr. Terry Fenger of Marshall University in Huntington, 
West Virginia. Dr. Fenger has played a key role in developing the 
university's highly successful Forensic Science Center, which has 
repeatedly been named the nation's best forensic science program.
  Dr. Fenger has served as the center's director since 1994, overseeing 
its Digital Forensics section, Forensics DNA Analysis laboratory, and 
FEPAC-accredited Forensic Science Graduate Program. His passion for 
teaching students how to succeed in the forensic science field and 
caring for his fellow West Virginians is on show for all to see. By 
overseeing the program's role in West Virginia's sexual assault test 
kit initiative, Dr. Fenger has proactively taken a leadership role in 
helping get criminals off our streets. His expertise in his field has 
helped create a new generation of forensic experts to solve crimes and 
keep our communities safe, and I join his friends, family and 
colleagues in wishing him well during his hard-earned retirement. He 
will always

be a part of the Marshall University family. I look forward to seeing 
the great things he achieves in the future.
