  Mr. FASO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today with great respect and admiration 
to recognize James ``Jim'' Campion, the President of Columbia-Greene 
Community College in Hudson, New York. Jim is retiring at the end of 
the 2019 academic year, culminating an impressive and nearly fifty-year 
career in higher education.
  An outstanding leader and mentor, Jim has consistently displayed an 
unyielding dedication to improving New York's community college system. 
Under his leadership, Columbia-Greene Community College has expanded 
educational opportunities, improved campus safety and amenities, and 
provided more innovative curriculum and career training for students.
  The tireless commitment of educators like Jim is fundamental to the 
success of our communities, our state, and our nation. Mr. Speaker, I 
ask that my colleagues join me in congratulating Jim on his retirement 
and thanking him for his many years of dedicated service to New York 
State.
