                       Wednesday, March 23, 2016

  Mr. HUDSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Dr. Robin Cummings and 
congratulate him on his official installation as the sixth Chancellor 
of the University of North Carolina at Pembroke.
  As Representative of North Carolina's Eighth District, I'm proud to 
represent Robeson County and UNC Pembroke in Congress. There is no 
doubt in my mind that Chancellor Cummings is a perfect fit for this 
university. His leadership and service to North Carolina in numerous 
capacities--in health care, in state government and in volunteer 
service--has positioned him well for this role. With his knowledge and 
broad experience, Dr. Cummings will promote and grow the university 
while meeting the unique challenges facing our community.
  As Chancellor, Dr. Cummings has already made an incredible impact and 
helped foster an institution that offers students a pathway to a 
career, that empowers faculty and staff to be successful, and that 
provides our community an institution to be proud of.
  In addition, Dr. Cumming's love for our community and the university 
is unmatched. As a Pembroke native and member of the Lumbee tribe, he 
has the community's best interest at heart. Under his guidance, UNC 
Pembroke will continue to lead the way in strengthening our economy, 
supporting job creation and improving the quality of life for people 
all across Southeastern North Carolina.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in congratulating Chancellor Robin 
Cummings for his prestigious accomplishment. We wish him, his wife 
Rebecca and his four children, Amy, Mark, David, and Adam well as 
Chancellor Cummings undertakes this role and continues to serve Robeson 
County and UNC Pembroke.
