              GLENN BERNET, 50 YEARS AT EVANGEL UNIVERSITY

  Mr. LONG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor the 50th 
anniversary of Glenn Bernet's career at Evangel University, a Christian 
university in Springfield, MO.
  Dr. Bernet began his career in 1963 as a professor of mathematics 
while finishing his master's degree, and he rose to become dean of the 
university in 1985, a position he still holds today.
  Through his tireless work as an educator over the last 50 years, Dr. 
Bernet has proven to be a constant factor that has given encouragement 
and growth to not just the university, but to each individual student.
  Dr. Bernet's leadership has inspired the university to reach for 
greater things. Under his leadership, Evangel achieved university 
status, and student enrollment has quadrupled to over 2,100 students.
  Throughout his career at Evangel, Dr. Bernet has proven to be a model 
example of an educator, and Evangel University and the Springfield 
community have benefited greatly because of it.
  I urge my colleagues to join me in congratulating Glenn Bernet on his 
50th anniversary at Evangel University.
