  IN RECOGNITION OF THE INAUGURATION OF BAY PATH UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT 
                            SANDRA J. DORAN

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. RICHARD E. NEAL

                            of massachusetts

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, April 18, 2022

  Mr. NEAL. Madam Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
congratulate Sandra Doran on being inaugurated as the sixth president 
of Bay Path University in Longmeadow, Massachusetts. As Bay Path marks 
their 125th anniversary, I could not think of a more appropriate 
platform to celebrate the inauguration of President Doran.
  Over the past 18 years, President Doran's experience in academics has 
culminated in her becoming a leader in higher education. Most recently, 
President Doran served as President of Salem Academy and College in 
Winston-Salem, North Carolina, the nation's oldest women's college. In 
just two years, President Doran helped develop and implement a plan to 
bring financial stability to Salem College, while transforming their 
academic programs to educate future generations of female leaders. 
Prior to beginning her academic career in 2004, President Doran worked 
in the private sector for 18 years, building a unique skillset that 
will serve her well in her new position at Bay Path.
  In 1897, Bay Path University was founded upon the ideals of providing 
career-focused educational programs and providing students with the 
resources needed to affect real change in their communities. Offering 
71 all-women undergraduate programs, and 33 co-educational graduate 
programs, Bay Path prides itself on empowering its diverse student body 
of more than 3,000 students to help women close the wage gap and stem 
the cycle of poverty. President Doran has demonstrated her commitment 
to these fundamental issues throughout her career, and that is why I am 
confident she will be a strong leader and outspoken advocate as Bay 
Path begins a new era in the institution's history.
  Madam Speaker, I would like to once again congratulate President 
Doran on being inaugurated as the sixth president of Bay Path 
University. Bay Path is a cherished institution in Massachusetts' First 
District, and I wish their faculty, staff, student body, and new 
president, Sandra Doran, many more years of success and prosperity.
