      CONGRATULATIONS TO DR. LAURA DUHAN KAPLAN AND UNC-CHARLOTTE

  (Mr. WATT of North Carolina asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WATT of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Dr. 
Laura Duhan Kaplan, Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University 
of North Carolina at Charlotte, which is located in my congressional 
district.
  On November 13, Dr. Kaplan was named one of four U.S. professors of 
the year by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education and 
the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. Dr. Kaplan was 
honored for her creative and nontraditional methods of teaching 
philosophy, which have made her classes a favorite of UNC-Charlotte 
students and earned praise from her colleagues.
  Dr. Kaplan's award is an honor for her and the entire UNC-Charlotte 
community. UNC-Charlotte becomes the first university in the Nation to 
have


three U.S. Professors of the Year serving on its faculty.
  I offer my congratulations to Dr. Kaplan and to the University of 
North Carolina at Charlotte on this high honor.
