HONORING MARJORIE DICKINSON, UPON HER RETIREMENT FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF

                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 12, 2017

  Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
distinguished career of Marjorie Dickinson, a tireless advocate for 
California higher education. Since 1987, Marjorie has served as the 
Assistant Chancellor for Government and Community Relations for the 
University of California, Davis. As the first person to be appointed to 
the position, her impact on shaping the university's Government and 
Community Relations program cannot be understated.
  Marjorie and her team serve to represent UC Davis to local, state, 
and federal government officials, advocating for the university 
community on a wide array of issues. Her work has cultivated positive 
relationships within the local community while also balancing a 
national perspective, helping UC Davis continue to be a leader in the 
field of higher education whose impact is truly global.
  A product of the University of California system herself, having 
graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, Marjorie has 
also served with the California Post-Secondary Education Commission. 
Her entire career is a testament to her dedication to higher education 
in our state, and her passion for the University of California is 
constantly on display.
  Marjorie's remarkable tenure is coming to an end, but she is 
preparing to embark on the next phase of her life: a well-earned 
retirement. We want to express our sincere gratitude to Marjorie for 
her three decades of service, and we are joined by the entire UC Davis 
community in wishing her nothing but the best for the future.
