  Mr. TORRES of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the 
recognition of Dr. Carmen Berrios Delgado, a proud Puerto Rican, a 
brilliant educator, and now a Friends of Puerto Rico honoree.
  For over a decade, Dr. Berrios Delgado has made a steadfast 
commitment to the betterment of her community, helping to educate, 
mentor, and invest in the students and young professionals of Puerto 
Rico.
  A prolific academic, Dr. Berrios Delgado has aided many students and 
young professionals during her time as a faculty member at the 
University of Puerto Rico Aguadilla's business administration 
department, going above and beyond to ensure the success of Puerto 
Rico's best and brightest.
  Dr. Berrios Delgado has sought out opportunities to provide financial 
assistance and investments to many students who have ideas that would 
expand and strengthen not only our economy, but our world. Her efforts 
ensure that the best of us do not go unheard and unrecognized based on 
their ability to pay their way.
  Additionally, she has donated her time and expertise to strengthen 
the professional readiness of young people. She works to expose 
students to outside organizations and workshops that better prepare 
them for business-oriented careers. She has ardently pursued Puerto 
Rico's education, entrepreneurship, labor reforms, and economic growth, 
investing in the long-term goals of the island.
  Dr. Berrios Delgado is recognized today as a tireless advocate for 
the improvement of student opportunities, and a tremendous force for 
good in her community.
  I congratulate Dr. Berrios Delgado on this tremendous honor, and 
thank her for all she has done for both Puerto Rico and society at 
large.
