RECOGNIZING DR. PAMELA WHITTEN FOR HER SERVICE AS PRESIDENT OF KENNESAW 
                            STATE UNIVERSITY

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. BARRY LOUDERMILK

                               of georgia

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 28, 2021

  Mr. LOUDERMILK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the outgoing 
President of Kennesaw State University, Dr. Pamela Whitten. After 
serving as the Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost 
at the University of Georgia from February to June 2018, the Board of 
Regents of the University System of Georgia selected Dr. Whitten to 
lead one of Georgia's top universities.
  During her tenure, Kennesaw State University has experienced record 
enrollment growth, stronger research capacity, and a more beneficial 
student experience. In response to COVID-19, President Whitten 
challenged KSU's faculty, staff, and administrators to prioritize 
student health and maintain academic excellence in innovative ways, 
even during a pandemic. Under her leadership, the university became a 
leading example of remote learning and established a COVID testing site 
on campus for the region.
  I thank President Whitten for her friendship, her leadership of 
Kennesaw State University, and am grateful for her dedication to all 
who call themselves KSU Owls. I wish her the best as she becomes the 
next President of Indiana University.
