                      Tuesday, September 19, 2000

  Mr. GEJDENSON. Mr. Speaker, today I congratulate Professor Carl 
Swartz upon receiving the Educational Excellence and Distinguished 
Service Award for 2000. Professor Swartz is a deserving recipient and a 
tremendous asset for Three Rivers Community College.
  Professor Swartz is a well-respected professor of business at Three 
Rivers Community College in Norwich, Connecticut. He has been teaching 
courses at Three Rivers since 1971 and has had the distinct honor to 
serve as chairman for the business administration and marketing 
programs for 14 years. While at Three Rivers, Carl has been an advisor 
to the business club and developed new courses in industrial 
supervision, salesmanship, labor relations, human resource management 
and advertising. Carl has also served on many committees and was a 
member of the White House Small Business Advisory Committee during the 
Carter administration. In addition, in 1999, Carl received the Congress 
of Connecticut Community Colleges Recognition award for his invaluable 
work at Three Rivers.
  Professor Swartz has gone beyond the role of professor and has been 
active in the community as well. He has represented Three Rivers on the 
TVCCA Board of Directors, served as a member of the state council on 
Vocational Education and written a weekly column for the Norwich 
Bulletin. By involving himself in the educational and social aspects of 
his students, he has created a solid foundation for the future of our 
community.
  Mr. Speaker, I Join residents from Norwich in congratulating 
Professor Carl Swartz on receiving this prestigious award. He is a 
scholar, a teacher and an example for all.
