                       Tuesday, December 21, 2010

  Mr. BURGESS. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Harriet 
Jan Hillman. After 23 years, Jan, as she is known by friends and 
coworkers, is retiring from her post as Executive Director of Planning 
and Assessment for Student Affairs at the University of North Texas in 
Denton, Texas.
   In addition to her current position, since beginning her career at 
UNT in 1987 Ms. Hillman has served the Denton campus as Panhellenic 
Advisor, Director of Student Activities and Assistant Dean of Students. 
She has been an advocate for the Greek system and has continued to 
serve this student population over the last ten years even when outside 
of her assigned job responsibilities.
   Ms. Hillman received her B.A. in Pre-Social Work at what was then 
known as Northeast Louisiana University. She then continued her 
education by earning both her M.Ed. and Ed.D. from the University of 
North Texas.
   Ms. Hillman's devotion to the profession of student affairs has been 
evident through her membership in the Texas Association of College and 
University Student Personnel Administrators (TACUSPA), an organization 
she served as President from 1997-1998.
   Additionally, Ms. Hillman has been active within the community 
through her active membership in Kiwanis, the Denton Chamber of 
Commerce and Leadership Denton. And, in 2006 she was selected as a 
member of the 2006 class of Leadership Texas.
   It is with great honor that I rise today to recognize Jan Hillman 
for her years of dedication and service to the University of North 
Texas. I am proud to represent her and UNT in the United States 
Congress.
