                        Thursday, June 19, 2008

  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Carol Roever 
of St. Joseph, Missouri. Carol is active in the community through work 
and in her spare time and she has been chosen to receive the YWCA Woman 
of Excellence Award for Women in the Workplace.
   As an Associate Professor at MWSU, Carol Roever sets high 
expectations for her students and supports them to achieve these goals. 
Her students have won awards in national contests and have been 
selected to present their research at international conferences in the 
U.S., Finland, Denmark, Germany and Italy. Developing a course to 
introduce students to international business, Carol has taken more than 
135 students to seven countries to participate in business seminars, 
learn from corporate leaders, and experience cultural differences.
   Beyond the classroom, Carol has directed the Department of Business 
internship program for a number of years, placing over 500 students in 
internships across the U.S. In addition, over the last seven years, 
Carol has presented 13 papers at regional, national and international 
conferences. She recently spent a semester as a visiting professor at 
Yeditepe University in Istanbul, Turkey. In 2006, she was selected as 
Chairperson for the Department of Business at MWSU. Her dedication to 
her students and her outstanding teaching have earned her national 
recognition from professional organizations. She has also received 
awards from MWSU that acknowledge the quality and significance of her 
work. Carol is an active volunteer in St. Joseph, having served on 
Heartland Health boards for more than 12 years, with two years as 
Medical Center Board President. This year she presented three 
communication workshops for women in the YWCA shelter.
   Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in recognizing Carol 
Roever. She has made an amazing impact on countless individuals in the 
community. I am honored to represent her in the United States Congress.
