                      REMEMBERING EVELYN C. KEISER

 Mr. SCOTT of Florida. Mr. President, I rise to honor the life 
of Evelyn C. Keiser, who died on February 5, 2024, at the age of 100. 
Evelyn Keiser was the cofounder of Keiser University, one of Florida's 
largest private, nonprofit universities. In her 40-year tenure at the 
university, she, alongside her son Arthur and his wife Belinda, 
transformed higher education in the State of Florida. Keiser University 
now serves an approximate 20,000 students, has 3,800 employees, and 
more than 66,000 alumni. In 2015, as Governor of Florida, I was pleased 
to induct her into the Florida Women's Hall of Fame. The work she has 
done to improve higher education in Florida is a legacy that will 
improve the lives of students for generations to come.
  Evelyn is survived by her three children Ellen K. Farren, Arthur 
Keiser, and Jeffrey Keiser; four grandchildren Elizabeth and Robert 
Farren, William Keiser, and Robert Keiser; and seven great-
grandchildren, Alexander and Caterina Piro, Juliette and George Farren, 
and Isabelina, Rosalina, and Sarafina Keiser.
