                      REMEMBERING DR. JEROME GREEN

  (Mr. HILL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today with a heavy heart. I rise to 
remember Dr. Jerome Green, who died unexpectedly earlier this week.
  Jerome served as the president of Shorter College in North Little 
Rock, Arkansas, since 2012. As the only private 2-year historically 
Black college in the country, Shorter College faces unique challenges, 
challenges that were all embraced by Dr. Green.
  In his time as president, he increased the enrollment of the college, 
brought back intercollegiate athletics, added academic programs, and 
more. Jerome was recently named by the HBCU Campaign Fund board as one 
of The Ten Most Dominant HBCU Leaders Award and Class of 2024.
  Early in his career, Jerome was appointed by then-Governor Bill 
Clinton to the Arkansas Ethics Commission where he served as chairman. 
Following his work on the Ethics Commission, he was appointed to the 
Panel of Conciliators for the International Center for Settlement 
Disputes, a division of the World Bank.
  Dr. Green has truly dedicated his career to improving the lives of 
others. He was an exemplary leader in his faith, his devotion to 
Shorter College, and our country.
  He was a dear friend and will be missed by many. Martha and I are 
brokenhearted, and we pray for the repose of his soul and for his 
friends and family.
