  Mr. HASTINGS of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
and honor Dr. Terry Martin who has been named the Washington State 
Professor of the year by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of 
Teaching and the Council for Advancement and Support of Education.
  Each year outstanding professors are honored by the Carnegie 
Foundation and the Council for Advancement and Support of Education for 
their service as models of excellence in undergraduate instruction. I 
would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the 2003 Washington 
State award winner, Dr. Terry Martin, an English professor at Central 
Washington University. Clearly, Dr. Martin has demonstrated her 
dedication to teaching and her students.
  Dr. Martin has been honored for her commitment to academic excellence 
in the classroom and her contribution to the education community. She 
has published over 35 articles in professional journals, judged 
numerous writing and poetry contests, served as a member of the 
Washington State Steering Committee for Improving Undergraduate 
Education, and served as a State Board member for the Washington 
Council of Teachers of English.
  Thank you for the opportunity to recognize Dr. Martin. Her innovation 
and commitment to teaching has clearly had a tremendous impact on the 
lives of her students and colleagues, and serves as an example of 
excellence in education.
