                      TRIBUTE TO DR. BETTY SIEGEL

  (Mr. PRICE of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PRICE of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, today I rise in honor of Dr. Betty 
Siegel, president of Kennesaw State University in Georgia. After 25 
years of service to the University, Dr. Siegel

will be retiring at the end of the year, and what an amazing 25 years 
it has been for her and for the students of Kennesaw State.
  Back in 1981, Betty Siegel made headlines and chose the path less 
traveled when she became the first woman ever to serve as president in 
the 34-school university system of Georgia. Today, she makes headlines 
for all she has accomplished.
  Under her leadership, KSU has grown tremendously, from a 4,000-
student college offering 15 bachelor's degree programs and no graduate 
programs to today, with 18,000 students choosing from over 55 
undergraduate and graduate programs.
  The KSU slogan, ``Dare to Dream,'' is epitomized by Dr. Betty Siegel 
in every imaginable way. Not only does she lead by example, but she 
instills every student with that motto.
  So today I say thank you to Dr. Siegel. Thank you for daring to dream 
and thank you for daring to do all you have done to improve the lives 
of your students.
