   HONORING MIAMI DADE COLLEGE WOLFSON CAMPUS PRESIDENT DR. JOSE A. 
                                VICENTE

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Dr. Jose A. 
Vicente, who is retiring from his post as president of Wolfson Campus 
of Miami Dade College, where each year 27,000 students receive a high-
quality education in the heart of downtown Miami.
  Dr. Vicente's retirement marks the end of an amazing 42-year career 
at my alma mater, Miami Dade College. Dr. Vicente's commitment to 
education is evident not only from his varied teaching and 
administrative roles at Miami Dade College, but also through his active 
involvement as a board member in national education groups, including 
the American Association of Community Colleges and the Hispanic 
Association of Colleges and Universities, known as HACU.
  Congratulations to Dr. Jose Vicente on his well-deserved retirement. 
I thank him for his wonderful legacy of enhanced educational 
opportunities that will continue to benefit our South Florida community 
for years to come.
  Godspeed, Jose.
