                  TRIBUTE TO DR. JOSE-MARIE GRIFFITHS

 Mr. ROUNDS. Mr. President, today I recognize Dr. Jose-Marie 
Griffiths, outgoing President of Dakota State University in Madison, 
SD, for all of the hard work she has done for the State of South 
Dakota. Her work over the past 11 years as president has helped make 
DSU a national leader in cyber security, artificial intelligence, and 
research. Dr. Griffiths' commitment to her students, her faculty, and 
to the State of South Dakota are unmatched. Under her leadership, DSU 
expanded academic programs, particularly in technology and cyber-
related fields. Her collaboration with government, military, and 
industry put DSU in a position to secure significant investments to 
further promote programming at DSU. I extend my sincere thanks and 
appreciation to Dr. Griffiths for all of the work she has done and wish 
her continued success as she begins her next chapter.
