Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to extend my heartfelt congratulations to Dr. John W. Wells on his appointment as the 24th president of Young Harris College.

This marks a very significant moment in the history of the institution and its promising future. Dr. Wells' selection is a testament to his leadership, vision, and dedication to higher education.

He is no stranger to Young Harris College, having previously served as provost and interim president during a pivotal period of transformation. His contribution during that time laid the foundation for significant growth, and his return marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the institution.

With over 30 years of experience in higher education, Dr. Wells has consistently demonstrated excellence in leadership. At Emory & Henry College, he led record enrollment and fundraising efforts. He oversaw the transition of athletics to NCAA Division II and guided the institution toward achieving university status, showcasing his ability to drive meaningful progress.

Mr. Speaker, Dr. Wells' vision, passion, and leadership will undoubtedly guide Young Harris to even greater achievements.
