                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ELIOT L. ENGEL

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, October 24, 2011

  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, Professor Edmund W. Gordon is among the most 
distinguished behavioral pedagogical scientists in the United States 
and one of the very few in the world to hold two endowed Ivy League 
professorships at Columbia and Yale universities.
  More directly related to my Congressional District, he is Senior 
Scholar in Residence at State University of New York Rockland Community 
College as well as at the College Board.
  His distinguished career encompasses not only professorial practices 
but scholarship, clinical and counseling psychology, research, author, 
editor, and minister. Besides Columbia and Yale, he has held 
appointments at Howard and Harvard Universities.
  He has written text books that are considered classics in their 
field, as well as more than 200 articles in scholarly journals and he 
is still going in his eighties. He and his wife, Dr. Susan Gordon, have 
lived in Rockland County for more than 55 years and with whom he co-
founded CEJJES Institute and Conference Center in Pomona. Their four 
children attended the local Ramapo schools and both parents were very 
active in the PTA, school board elections, and other community matters.
  Dr. Gordon is being honored by the Howard University Alumni 
Association for his seemingly unending contributions to society. As a 
former teacher I join with HUAA in congratulating Dr. Gordon for these 
contributions which have advanced education in our society over the 
course of generations.
