                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 28, 2022

  Mrs. HARTZLER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Dr. Joanna 
Anderson on her retirement after 35 years of devotion to higher 
education. Dr. Anderson is retiring from State Fair Community College 
in Sedalia, Missouri after nine years of serving as the school's 
president.
  Dr. Anderson received her doctorate in Educational Leadership and 
Policy Analysis in 2010 from the University of Missouri; her Master of 
Science degree in Education Curriculum and Instruction in 1998 from 
William Woods University; her Bachelor of Science degree in 
Agricultural Journalism in 1978 from the University of Missouri; and an 
Associate of Arts degree in 1976 from Trenton Junior College (now North 
Central Missouri College).
  Dr. Anderson was unanimously elected by the State Fair Community 
College Board of Trustees to serve as their fifth president in July of 
2013. Prior to her work at State Fair, she was vice president of 
student services at Casper College in Casper, Wyoming for six years. 
Dr. Anderson's incredible career also included time at North Central 
Missouri College where she acted as Dean of Student Services, Director 
of Public Relations, Director of Admissions, and an adjunct instructor 
over several years.
  Known for her leadership in expanding State Fair Community College's 
academic programs and athletics, Dr. Anderson has truly been one

of SFCC's greatest leaders and biggest cheerleaders. Dr. Anderson's 
passion and devotion to higher education cannot be overstated. She has 
strived to be a source of support to all faculty, students, and staff 
within the SFCC family.
  While she will be missed, I know she is looking forward to returning 
to her family farm in northwest Missouri and spending more time with 
loved ones, I commend Dr. Anderson for her hard work and dedication, I 
thank her for her years of selfless devotion to education, and I wish 
her the best in her much-deserved retirement.
