                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, April 15, 2024

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Steve 
Spratlin's 33 years of service on the occasion of his retirement from 
Southern Union State Community College.
  Mr. Spratlin began his career with the College in 1991 as Special 
Activities Coordinator, serving as an external liaison for the college. 
As a result of diligence, skill, and dedication, he advanced to the 
positions of Director of Institutional Research, Planning and 
Development in 2002 and Associate Dean of Instruction in 2009, the 
position he currently holds. Mr. Spratlin has spearheaded the SACSCOC 
reaccreditation efforts of the college for many years, and has served 
on numerous committees. His significant contributions to Southern Union 
and his dedication to serving exemplify his profound influence within 
both the college and the broader community.
  Mr. Spratlin is highly respected among his colleagues, known for his 
wise counsel, sound judgement, and love and dedication to SUSCC. He has 
been instrumental in helping the college earn numerous awards for 
excellence and receive grant funds from local, state, regional, and 
national organizations. The inspiring leadership and guidance he has 
displayed throughout his tenure at the college will be dearly missed.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in recognizing Steve Spratlin's tireless 
years of service to Southern Union State Community College and wishing 
him the best in his retirement.
