          RECOGNIZING SWEET BRIAR COLLEGE ON 125TH ANNIVERSARY

  (Mr. McGUIRE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. McGUIRE. Mr. Speaker, I stand before you today to recognize and 
celebrate the historic 125th anniversary of Sweet Briar College in 
Amherst County of Virginia's Fifth Congressional District.
  Founded in 1901 by Indiana Fletcher Williams, Sweet Briar has spent 
more than a century preparing women to lead with integrity, resilience, 
and purpose in critical roles throughout America's workforce.
  Sweet Briar's many notable alumnae, including Mary Pope Hutson, the 
current president of the college, hold true to the mission of guiding 
and inspiring the next generation of female leaders.
  For 125 years, Sweet Briar has stood as a testament to academic 
excellence and preparing women for lifelong leadership. I ask my 
colleagues to join me in congratulating this extraordinary institution.
