  Ms. HART. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to honor 
Sister Candace Introcaso, on being named the seventh President of 
LaRoche College in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

[[Page 6972]]

  Sister Introcaso became the President of LaRoche College on July 1, 
2004. A member of the Board of Trustees since 2001, Sister Candace 
takes over an institution, founded by women that believed religion held 
a very important place in the landscape of higher education. Sister 
Introcaso brings a very diverse background to her leadership role, 
having received a B.A. in psychology from Ship-
pensburg University, an M.A. in sociology from Fordham University and 
Ph.D. in Higher Education from the Claremont Graduate University.
  Her experience includes a prior position with LaRoche College from 
1986-1991, where she was the Director of Grants and an Assistant to the 
Vice President for Student Affairs. From 1997 to 1999, Sister Candace 
served as the Assistant Vice President for Academic Affairs at Heritage 
College on the Yakima Indian Reservation in Toppenish Washington before 
moving on to serve as the Vice President for Academic Affairs at Barry 
University in Miami Shores, Florida. Sister Introcaso will be honored 
with an Installation Ceremony on Friday, April 8, at 2:30 p.m. on the 
East Campus of LaRoche College.
  I ask my colleagues in the United States House of Representatives to 
join me in honoring Sister Candace Introcaso. It is an honor to 
represent the Fourth Congressional District of Pennsylvania and a 
pleasure to salute citizens such as Sister Introcaso, who make the 
communities that they live in truly special.
