Mr. FITZPATRICK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the inauguration of Dr. Anne Prisco as the sixth president of Holy Family University. After achieving a bachelor's degree from the University of Arizona, a master's degree from Fordham University, and a Ph.D. from Columbia University, Dr. Prisco has gone on to faithfully serve a number of higher education institutions in a variety of roles. Over the course of her impressive career, she has worked as an administrator, faculty member, researcher, and consultant. Prior to her new post at Holy Family. Dr. Prisco was President of Felician University in New Jersey from 2012 to 2020, leading the school through a transformational period. Under her leadership there, the university grew and is now thriving with record-breaking increases in enrollment, growing net revenue, continued facilities enhancements, and a focus on inclusive excellence and shared governance. Dr. Prisco was appointed as the next President of Holy Family University in July 2021 and will be officially installed in that on April 8, 2022. We have no doubt that she will bring the same commitment that she brought to her previous academic posts to Holy Family University. As Dr. Prisco fully begins this new journey, we are incredibly grateful for the positive impact that she has already had community and wish her well in her new role.
