HONORING MIAMI DADE COLLEGE MEDICAL CAMPUS PRESIDENT DR. ARMANDO FERRER

  (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. Armando 
Ferrer, retiring from his post as President of the Medical Campus of 
Miami Dade College, a state-of-the-art complex in the heart of Miami's 
health district. Dr. Ferrer has worked at Miami Dade College for over 
30 years, including as Dean of both the North and Kendall Campuses.
  According to the U.S. Department of Education, Miami Dade College, my 
alma mater, ranks first in the Nation in awarding health profession and 
nursing degrees, and Dr. Ferrer's tenure as President of the Medical 
Campus is a key feature of that success. I thank Armando for his many 
years of dedicated teaching and professional development efforts in 
service to the students of Miami Dade College. It is through these 
students that he leaves a positive and lasting legacy throughout our 
community.
  Congratulations, and Godspeed, Armando Ferrer.
