“Mr. LUTTRELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and commend Cypress Assistance Ministries (CAM) on their 35th anniversary. Located within Texas' 8th Congressional District in Cypress, CAM has spent more than three decades serving as a pillar of compassion and hope for families in need. What began in 1990 as a community effort to distribute food to those in need from the back seat of a sedan has grown into a comprehensive non-profit organization that uplifts thousands of Texans each year. CAM currently operates a year-round food pantry, two donation centers, educational programs, and workforce readiness classes for those who would otherwise not have the opportunity. In 2024 alone, CAM distributed 1.2 million pounds of food, helped hundreds of households remain in their homes, and guided countless individuals to a path of self-sufficiency through job training. Behind these numbers are real people, parents, seniors, veterans, and children, whose lives are brighter because of Cypress Assistance Ministries. They have demonstrated the very best of what a community can achieve when it works together. The tireless work of over 500 volunteers as well as over 40 local churches and businesses proves the resiliency and generosity of the people of Texas' 8th Congressional District and serves as an example to the nation. On behalf of a grateful community and the United States House of Representatives, I offer my heartfelt congratulations to Cypress Assistance Ministries on their 35th anniversary and thank them for their enduring service to our district. ____________________”

“Mr. LUTTRELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize President Alisa White of Sam Houston State University for her dedication, devotion and leadership in service to Sam Houston State University, its students and all Texans. Like Sam Houston himself, Dr. White saw Texas as a land of promise, offering opportunities for bold enterprise and she is delivering on that promise every day. Assuming the role as President of SHSU in August of 2020, Dr. White brought her leadership to the University in a time of disruption, change and uncertainty in education. The COVID pandemic had rendered the college experience unrecognizable. Finding a way through the pandemic, protecting her students and maintaining excellence, President White showed true leadership. Dr. White is truly committed to Sam Houston's first-generation college students and those coming to the school from low-income households. In every conversation with Dr. White, she speaks of her commitment to these students and to giving them the tools they need to be successful. This led to the establishment of the First-Generation Center to offer tailored resources and support to this cohort of students. Sam Houston has recently launched the Polytechnic College, known as SamPoly. This initiative aims to provide students with practical, industry-aligned education to meet the evolving demands of the workforce. True to Dr. White's mission to provide opportunities for students across multiple interests, SamPoly is breaking barriers to education and leading to success for an ever-growing range of student interests. In tune with the needs of the country and the interests of the students, President White has thrown her full support behind a new commitment to Cyber Studies. Both degreed and certificate level programs are growing at Sam Houston and the school is working with the CIA, FBI, DHS and other agencies to create a pathway to jobs in this fast-growing field. Under her leadership, the SHSU College of Osteopathic Medicine is making a name for itself in the medical field. Training predominantly Primary Care Physicians, they will serve throughout Texas and the U.S. in underserved communities. Since Dr. White coming to the helm, the medical school secured an investment from the State of Texas for $32 million and an additional $23 million in pledges and gifts in 2023 alone. It's not just in the classroom that Dr. White is making a difference. On the fields and courts, and even on the beaches, with the introduction of Beach Volleyball this year, Sam Houston students are reaching new heights. Dr. White has brought her brand of energy to Sam Houston State University and the feeling on campus is electric. As a Sam Houston State University graduate, I Could not be prouder to offer this commendation to my fellow Bearkat--Dr, Alisa White. Her leadership and service to the University and to Texas are unrivaled. ____________________”
