                    CONGRATULATING DR. GLENN DEIBERT

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 
Dr. Glenn Deibert, who will be retiring as Coastal Pines Technical 
College's president at the end of February.
  Dr. Deibert has served 27 years in higher education and has served 
four of Georgia's technical colleges, including Okefenokee Technical 
College, Coastal Pines Technical College, Southwest Georgia Technical 
College, and Southern Technical College, formerly known as Swainsboro 
Technical College.
  Because of his dedication to improving education and the lives of 
students, he was recently named one of the Top 100 Most Influential 
Georgians by Georgia Trend's yearly publication. This title recognizes 
some of the most prestigious folks who have contributed greatly to the 
State's success.
  Dr. Deibert attended Central High School in Thomasville, Georgia, and 
graduated from Thomas Area Technical School, which later became 
Southwest Georgia Technical College, so his appreciation for technical 
colleges is personal.
  Dr. Deibert's work to improve Coastal Pines contributed to record 
enrollment at the college for multiple years.
  Madam Speaker, I wish him and his family the best of luck as he 
begins his retirement, and I am thankful for his many years of 
dedication to improving higher education in Georgia's First 
Congressional District.
