                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, November 1, 2023

  Mr. HARRIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the University of 
Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) for receiving its highest ranking for 
Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) according to U.S. 
News & World Report.
  Under the leadership of UMES President, Dr. Heidi M. Anderson, U.S. 
News ranked UMES in the top 6 of public HBCUs, number 200 among all 
public colleges and universities, and number 14 among 78 HBCUs in their 
2023-2024 report. UMES ranked two spots higher than last year's report 
and is the university highest ranking since U.S. News created its HBCU 
category in 2007.
  As the representative of Maryland's Eastern Shore, it is my distinct 
honor to recognize UMES for its remarkable achievement and I look 
forward to seeing the university continue to shape the minds of our 
Nation's future. Congratulations to UMES and Go Hawks.
