                       Tuesday, October 29, 2019

  Mr. ALLEN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge the investiture 
of Georgia Southern University's 14th President, Dr. Kyle Marrero.
  I am grateful for Dr. Marrero's commitment to higher education, and 
specifically to Georgia's students. With Georgia Southern offering 141 
degree programs to 26,400 students across three campuses, serving at 
the helm is no easy task--but Dr. Marrero is certainly up to the 
challenge.
  Prior to serving Georgia Southern, Dr. Marrero served other academic 
institutions including the University of West Georgia and the 
University of West Florida. His track record for innovation and 
building data-informed strategic plans will benefit our community for 
years to come.

  As a member of the House Education and Labor Committee, I am 
particularly excited about Dr. Marrero's previous partnerships between 
local educators and community leaders to establish a common vision for 
PreK-16 student success.
  Dr. Marrero's past successes building university-wide efforts to 
create a collaborative culture of high performance, evidence-based 
leadership, and employee engagement will keep Georgia Southern at the 
forefront of higher education.
  On behalf of Georgia's 12th Congressional District, I want to thank 
Dr. Marrero for his leadership and congratulate him on his investiture.
