Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 58 (Friday, March 27, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 58 (Friday, March 27, 2026)] [House] [Page H2782] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] RECOGNIZING SWEET BRIAR COLLEGE ON 125TH ANNIVERSARY (Mr. McGUIRE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. McGUIRE. Mr. Speaker, I stand before you today to recognize and celebrate the historic 125th anniversary of Sweet Briar College in Amherst County of Virginia's Fifth Congressional District. Founded in 1901 by Indiana Fletcher Williams, Sweet Briar has spent more than a century preparing women to lead with integrity, resilience, and purpose in critical roles throughout America's workforce. Sweet Briar's many notable alumnae, including Mary Pope Hutson, the current president of the college, hold true to the mission of guiding and inspiring the next generation of female leaders. For 125 years, Sweet Briar has stood as a testament to academic excellence and preparing women for lifelong leadership. I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating this extraordinary institution. ____________________
