  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Dr. Carol C. Harter, 
who is retiring after serving as the president University of Nevada, 
Las Vegas for the past 11 years.
  Dr. Harter has dedicated herself to enriching the academic experience 
of the students at UNLV and expanding programs and enrollment at the 
university. Since Dr. Harter's appointment in 1995, UNLV has created 
more than 100 new degree programs. During her tenure at UNLV, more than 
17 new buildings have been added, including the Lied Library. In 
addition, under her leadership, UNLV created the William S. Boyd School 
of Law, the School of Architecture, and the School of Dental Medicine--
the first professional schools in Nevada in these areas as well as 
professional programs in Physical Therapy and Public Health.
  As president of UNLV, Dr. Harter has received numerous national 
awards including the Presidential Leadership Award by the National 
Collegiate Honors Council, the President's Award by the National 
Association of Student Affairs Professionals, and the College 
President's Award by the All American Football Foundation.

distinguished career in service to higher education. I wish her the 
best in her retirement.
