                          Tuesday, May 7, 2019

  Mr. GAETZ. Madam Speaker, today I rise to recognize Dr. William 
Bowen, professor of political science at Pensacola Christian College, 
for his twenty-six years of exemplary service and investment in 
Northwest Florida.
  Dr. Bowen began his service at Pensacola Christian College in 1992 
when he approached the founder and president, Dr. Horton, about the 
possibility of establishing a political science program at the College. 
At this time, the College only offered a political science minor.
  In 1993, Dr. Bowen officially joined the faculty of Pensacola 
Christian College and began establishing the curriculum for the 
foundational courses in PCC's political science concentration. By the 
fall of 2004, the political science concentration was officially 
offered under Dr. Bowen's guidance and expertise.
  Dr. Bowen singlehandedly developed the entire political science 
program at Pensacola Christian College. He has been responsible for the 
curriculum development and teaching of every political science elective 
offered at the College; moreover, he has also developed two graduate-
level courses for PCC's Master of Science in Curriculum and Instruction 
with a History specialization.
  Dr. Bowen's biblical worldview, understanding of America's founding, 
and keen awareness of political trends have helped to shape one of the 
most successful programs in the Humanities Department of Pensacola 
Christian College. His faithful service and unrivaled scholarship have 
earned him a place among the College's most distinguished faculty 
members.
  Dr. Bowen's wisdom and insight have been an inspiration and guide for 
all his students, many of whom have become influential leaders in 
Northwest Florida and across America. Some of Dr. Bowen's students have 
attained the heights of American leadership, becoming influential 
leaders in Washington, D.C.
  Dr. Bowen's commitment to excellence in instruction has challenged 
his students to reach new heights of scholastic achievement. His 
exemplary scholarship has made him an invaluable instructor in both 
national and state issues. Dr. Bowen has a profound influence on the 
lives of each of the students he instructs.
  The strength of America lies in the education of its future leaders, 
and it is an honor for me to have exceptional professors in our 
district such as Dr. William Bowen who are faithfully training future 
American leaders that will one day shape the destiny of our great 
country.
  Madam Speaker, on behalf of the United States Congress, I am 
privileged to congratulate Dr. William Bowen for his twenty-six years 
of service and the exemplary legacy he leaves for the future leaders of 
America.
