   CONGRATULATING CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, FULLERTON, PRESIDENT 
                             MILDRED GARCIA

  (Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California. Madam Speaker, I rise today to 
congratulate recently appointed President Mildred Garcia of the 
California State University system's Fullerton campus.
  President Garcia currently serves on the Commission on Educational 
Excellence for Hispanics, and she was appointed to that by President 
Obama.
  Previously serving as the 11th female president for California State 
University, Dominguez Hills, President Garcia became the first Latina 
president within the California State University system in 2007.
  She began her career as an educator. She's still an educator, still 
teaching at Cal State, Fullerton, while having the presidency, also. 
She is a scholar. President Garcia focuses much of her research on 
fairness for higher education policy and practice, and she has authored 
many books on this subject.
  I wish her great success in her new position and, again, 
congratulations, Millie.
