  Mr. CLOUD. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and recognize Claudia 
Jackson, a Corpus Christi native, for her commitment to serving Del Mar 
College and promoting education in the community.
  Claudia Jackson started her career at Del Mar College nearly 42 years 
ago, and in 1977, became the Director of Public Information. By 2013, 
thanks to her work ethic and perseverance, she rose to become Executive 
Director of Strategic Communication and Government Relations.
  During her tenure, the College Relations Office staff received 
roughly 100 marketing and advertising awards, including a Gold 
Medallion of Excellence from the National Council for Marketing and 
Public Relations.
  Ms. Jackson's leadership was felt throughout Del Mar College, as she 
served as a member of the President's Executive Team and was 
responsible for interacting with local, state, and national elected 
officials to discuss and promote the college's various needs and 
initiatives. Additionally, she represented the College on the Corpus 
Christi Chamber of Commerce Board, and the Mayor's Interagency Group.
  Time and again, Claudia Jackson demonstrated her passion for 
education, and commitment to the city of Corpus Christi. Ms. Jackson 
was named Corpus Christi YWCA Woman of the Year in Communications in 
1993. She received a Distinguished Achievement Award from the Council 
for Advancement and Support of Education District IV in 1997.
  Claudia Jackson represents the very best of the 27th District of 
Texas, and I would like to extend to her my thanks and appreciation for 
her excellent service and devotion to education.
