  Mr. HOLLINGSWORTH. Madam Speaker, in honor of President Michael 
McRobbie's upcoming retirement from Indiana University, I am proud to 
recognize his outstanding record of leadership and service to higher 
education.
  Serving nearly 14 years as president, McRobbie is among the country's 
longest-serving presidents of a public higher education institution, 
and his dedication to expanding IU's programs, its impact on students, 
and the University's greater influence around Indiana is nothing short 
of remarkable.
  Throughout his tenure, President McRobbie has worked to ensure IU 
remained an academically competitive and excellent institution. Under 
his leadership, President McRobbie prioritized building curriculums 
that were highly responsive to the evolving needs of its students, the 
Hoosier state, and industries

around the world. To that end, over the last decade, IU has 
strengthened its position as a research powerhouse and invested in 
improving communities around the state.
  President McRobbie's commitment to IU and also serving Hoosiers has 
made a lasting impact on all who have passed through the institution. 
His legacy will live on long past his retirement, and I know I join 
graduates, colleagues, and Hoosiers around the state in thanking 
President McRobbie for his service to IU.
