Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and congratulate the record-breaking completion rates at the University of Georgia.

In just one year, the university's 4-year completion rate for freshmen has increased from 72.1 percent to 75.1 percent.

The university's 6-year completion rate has reached a new high of 88.1 percent, and the retention rate of students remains strong at 94.3 percent.

I commend the university's faculty hiring initiatives that have bolstered this already prestigious institution.

High-demand areas of study such as the Terry College of Business and the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences continue to provide students with very talented professors, thanks to these initiatives.

The university has also continued to grow tutoring and peer learning programs to provide students with all the resources they need to succeed.

I am proud of the hard work the University of Georgia is doing to ensure student success across the board. Go Dawgs.
