                        Thursday, March 24, 2022

  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
inauguration of Dr. Anne Prisco as the sixth president of Holy Family 
University. After achieving a bachelor's degree from the University of 
Arizona, a master's degree from Fordham University, and a Ph.D. from 
Columbia University, Dr. Prisco has gone on to faithfully serve a 
number of higher education institutions in a variety of roles. Over the 
course of her impressive career, she has worked as an administrator, 
faculty member, researcher, and consultant. Prior to her new post at 
Holy Family. Dr. Prisco was President of Felician University in New 
Jersey from 2012 to 2020, leading the school through a transformational 
period. Under her leadership there, the university grew and is now 
thriving with record-breaking increases in enrollment, growing net 
revenue, continued facilities enhancements, and a focus on inclusive 
excellence and shared governance. Dr. Prisco was appointed as the next 
President of Holy Family University in July 2021 and will be officially 
installed in that on April 8, 2022. We have no doubt that she will 
bring the same commitment that she brought to her previous academic 
posts to Holy Family University. As Dr. Prisco fully begins this new 
journey, we are incredibly grateful for the positive impact that she 
has already had community and wish her well in her new role.
