                     RECOGNIZING DR. CHERYL DOZIER

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dr. 
Cheryl Dozier, who will be retiring as president of Savannah State 
University on July 31.
  Dr. Dozier served for 8 years as the 13th president of Savannah 
State, a historically Black university located in the First 
Congressional District of Georgia. Because of her work, the university 
has made a number of exceptional improvements in different areas.
  Dr. Dozier reactivated the honors program, with more than 70 students 
participating. She established a college of education offering a 
bachelor of science in education, created a scholarship to help 
students who needed emergency financial support in their last semester, 
and opened two new STEM buildings.
  Thank you, Dr. Dozier, for your work educating students in coastal 
Georgia.
  Madam Speaker, I wish Savannah State University the best of luck in 
finding their next president.
