                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 8, 2020

  Mr. EMMER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to thank President Dr. Mary 
Hinton for her service to the College of St. Benedict in St. Joseph. 
Dr. Hinton served as President of the college since 2014 and will 
shortly assume a new role as the 13th President of Hollins University 
in Virginia.
  Prior to her work at the College of St. Benedict, President Hinton 
was a visiting faculty member for the University of Pennsylvania and 
Vice President for Planning and Assessment at Mount St. Mary College.
  President Hinton has built her career around leading and inspiring 
young women. During her time at St. Ben's, which enrolls 1,700 
undergraduate women, she helped raise $100 million in funding and 
implemented $43 million in campus updates, providing our community with 
premier facilities for teaching, learning, and promoting women's 
leadership.
  My staff and I have greatly enjoyed working with President Hinton 
over the past six years, and we are grateful for her work on behalf of 
her students and our community.
  We were especially grateful to have her as a panelist on my first 
ever Young Women's Leadership Program in 2015. She shared her time and 
insights with young women from Minnesota's Sixth District and inspired 
us all.
  Congratulations to President Hinton on this exciting new role. I 
thank her for all she has done for our community. Minnesota will miss 
her.
