                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 2, 2009

  Mr. RODRIGUEZ. Madam Speaker, I wish to congratulate my friend, Dr. 
Vic Morgan, as he formally retires after 18 years of serving as 
President of Sul Ross State University.
  Throughout his tenure as President, Dr. Morgan has demonstrated 
strong leadership and a commitment to providing a valuable academic 
experience for the students of Sul Ross State University. Having begun 
his career at SRSU as an Associate Professor of Mathematics, Dr. Morgan 
is the first faculty member to be promoted from within the University 
to its highest position.
  In addition to having fulfilled his responsibilities as President, 
Dr. Morgan remained extremely active in professional organizations in 
mathematics, student affairs, and educational administration. He has 
exemplified community service through his selfless work with the Church 
of Christ, the Lions Club, the Chamber of Commerce, and numerous youth 
related activities and organizations.
  After a decorated career at Sul Ross State University, Dr. Vic Morgan 
will retire having left a lasting impact on so many students and 
teachers whose lives he's touched. As a former educator myself, I am 
especially thankful for his steadfast commitment to students and 
educators in Texas' 23rd Congressional District. I wish to extend my 
sincerest wishes to Dr. Vic Morgan and his family for a healthy and 
much deserved retirement.
