  Mr. GARY MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise to commend Dr. 
Bill Feddersen, President of Mt. San Antonio College in Walnut, 
California.
  Dr. Feddersen began his teaching career in Florida after receiving 
his bachelor's degree from the University of Illinois. He went on to 
complete his master's and doctoral degrees in higher education at 
Columbia University where he was a Kellogg Community College Leadership 
Fellow.
  At age 32, after serving in administrative positions at Bucks County 
Community College (PA) and Iowa Western Community College, Dr. 
Feddersen became one of the youngest college presidents in the country 
when he assumed the presidency of what is now the Pennsylvania College 
of Technology. For the past twenty-one years he has been a California 
community college president, first at Napa Valley College and since 
1991, at Mt. San Antonio College.
  Dr. Feddersen has served in a variety of state and leadership 
positions, including president of the California Community CEO 
Organization, and a member of the board of Directors of the Community 
College League of California and the Association of California 
Community College Administrators. Nationally, he is an officer of the 
Continuous Quality Improvement Network and serves on North Central 
Association's Academic Quality Improvement Project Advisory Council.
  Thank you Dr. Feddersen for all of your hard work and dedication to 
advance education in our country. Your efforts will benefit the lives 
of others both now and for years to come.
