              HONORING DR. ALEX JOHNSON ON HIS RETIREMENT

  (Ms. BROWN of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. BROWN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Dr. Alex 
Johnson, who will soon be retiring after nearly a decade of service as 
Cuyahoga Community College's president.
  Dr. Johnson retires as a pillar of the Cleveland community. His deep 
commitment to Tri-C's students and forward-thinking leadership helped 
shape graduates, like myself, who were prepared for a lifetime of 
success in northeast Ohio.
  During Dr. Johnson's tenure, Tri-C produced a record number of 
graduates and increased its graduation rates, all while remaining 
committed to the school's core mission of delivering affordable higher 
education, providing equitable job opportunities, and ensuring 
successful degree completion. Meanwhile, throughout the tumult of the 
COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Johnson served as a steady hand at the helm, 
ensuring students' continued success.
  As a Tri-C graduate and the Representative for Ohio's 11th 
Congressional District, I deeply appreciate Dr. Johnson's extraordinary 
leadership, unparalleled vision, and lasting accomplishments. His 
legacy will only continue to grow through the countless students, 
teachers, and administrators he impacted.
