  Mr. PASCRELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize a great 
American institution of research and higher learning.
  This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Fordham University Henry 
C. Ravazzin Center on Aging and Intergenerational Studies. The Henry C. 
Ravazzin Center on Aging and Intergenerational Studies is nationally 
recognized for its strong partnerships with community organizations to 
enhance research and evaluation initiatives. The Center has been 
recognized for empowering students, professionals, and communities to 
address the needs of older adults and their families through practice, 
policy, and research.
  The Center's work focuses on a broad range of impact areas including 
Social Work Education, Health Care, lnterprofessional Practice, 
Palliative Care, Intergenerational Care, Community Program Evaluation, 
Foster Care and Family Supports, Loneliness and Social Isolation.
  The Center was established in 1995 by the Fordham University Graduate 
School of Social Service under the leadership of the former Dean, Dr. 
Mary Ann Quaranta, and Dr. Irene Gutheil, the first chair of the Center 
on Aging and Intergenerational Studies. Dean Dr. Debra McPhee has led 
the Center since 2013, overseeing recent expansions of study and 
services along with Endowed Chairwoman, Dr. Janna Heyman.
  Madam Speaker, I ask you and my colleagues to join me in officially 
recognizing the Fordham University Henry C. Ravazzin Center on Aging 
and Intergenerational Studies in the Congressional Record for its 
significant contributions to an improved quality of life for older 
adults and their families over the past 25 years.
  Go Rams.
