                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, June 27, 2025

  Mr. HUDSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize my friend, Ms. 
Betty Doster, for her dedicated service to The University of North 
Carolina at Charlotte, my alma mater, as Special Assistant to the 
Chancellor for External Relations and Partnerships.
  After nearly fifteen years in this important position, Betty 
announced her retirement, with her last day being Monday, June 30, 
2025. Throughout her many years of service, Betty played an 
immeasurable role in the growth of UNC Charlotte into an R1 research 
institution. Even though she is a proud UNC Chapel Hill alum, Betty's 
passion for UNC Charlotte was enormous. Her efforts significantly 
contributed to the growing influence of our universjty across the state 
of North Carolina, around the country and around the world. It was a 
pleasure to work with Betty on many of these initiatives over the 
years.
  As Special Assistant to the Chancellor for External Relations and 
Partnerships, Betty worked closely with federal, state, and local 
officials, as well as economic development partners to secure important 
public investments for the University. Betty's efforts helped acquire 
major student-focused initiatives, including authorization for the 
University Recreation Center, expansion of the Collegiate Recovery 
Program, and support for UNC Charlotte's esports initiative.
  It is my honor to take this opportunity to recognize Ms. Betty Doster 
for her incredible service to UNC Charlotte, and her significant impact 
on the University. While I'll miss working with Betty and discussing 
the 49ers, I wish her all the best in her next adventure and hope she 
will be able to enjoy more time with friends and family.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me today in honoring my friend, Ms. Betty 
Doster, for her nearly 15 years of dedicated service to UNC Charlotte 
and the lasting impact she made on the university and everyone she met 
along the way.
