                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 5, 2019

  Mr. WEBSTER of Florida. Madam Speaker, I rise today to commemorate 
the successful career of Dr. G.P. ``Bud'' Peterson. On January 7, 2019, 
Dr. Peterson announced that he will be retiring from the role of 
President at the Georgia Institute of Technology, commonly known as 
Georgia Tech.
   His retirement comes after eleven years of service to this great 
academic institution. Throughout those years, Bud demonstrated 
extraordinary leadership. A few examples include having the university 
accepted into the Association of American Universities, increasing 
enrollment while other academic institutions are struggling, expanding 
areas of research, and being named a top-10 public research university. 
As a graduate of Georgia Tech, I am proud of what this institution has 
accomplished. Thanks in part to the talented faculty and the direction 
President Peterson provided.
   Dr. Peterson is truly leaving Georgia Tech a better place than when 
he arrived. Sandy and I wish him well and congratulate him on his 
wonderful career. I thank him for all he has done to make Georgia Tech 
a better place, and wish him good luck in all future endeavors.
