  Mr. CRAMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Dr. Johnnetta Cole for 
her many accomplishments in higher education and leadership in her 
community.
  Dr. Johnnetta Cole is the President of Bennett College, a 
Historically Black Women's College in Greensboro, North Carolina. She 
is also a Professor Emerita at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, 
and was the first female President of Spelman College, also in Atlanta, 
Georgia.
  In addition, Dr. Cole served her Nation proudly in 1992 when 
President-elect Bill Clinton appointed her as his transition 
coordinator for education, arts, labor, and humanities.
  Mr. Speaker, on March 28th, Dr. Cole will be the Keynote Speaker at 
the Founders' Day program for the Huntsville Alumnae Chapter of Delta 
Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. I rise today to welcome her to North Alabama 
and to honor her achievements in advancing higher education throughout 
our country.
