                                 ______

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                          Tuesday, May 3, 2022

  Mr. PALLONE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Associate 
Alumnae of Douglass College as its members commemorate its 100th 
anniversary this year.
  The Associate Alumnae of Douglass College was founded by members of 
the Class of 1922, the first graduating class of the New Jersey College 
for Women (present day Douglass Residential College). Since that time, 
the organization has continued to advance its mission to develop, 
promote and support Douglass alumnae.
  The Associate Alumnae of Douglass College is led by a volunteer Board 
of Directors, all of whom are Douglass alumnae. Throughout its first 
century, the organization has been led by many distinguished alumnae, 
including Inez Phillips Durham, Victoria Dabrowski Schmidt, Evelyn 
Sermons Field, and its current President, Jeanne Fox.
  Today, the Associate Alumnae of Douglass College consists of a 
network of over 39,000 women across the globe with a shared pursuit of 
lifelong learning. Through its programs, services and networks, the 
Associate Alumnae of Douglass College advances the personal and 
professional growth of its members. The organization provides 
opportunities to engage in both social and educational forums, 
fostering connections and empowering women. In addition to its 
programs, the Associate Alumnae of Douglass College oversees endowment 
funds, including the Douglass Fund, and ensures proper management and 
distribution.
  Madam Speaker, I sincerely hope that my colleagues will join me in 
congratulating the Associate Alumnae of Douglass College on its 100th 
anniversary. The organization has paved a successful path for 
generations of women and its efforts are truly deserving of this 
recognition.
