RECOGNIZING THE DEDICATED SERVICE OF DR. WILLIAM BOWEN
______
HON. MATT GAETZ
of florida
in the house of representatives
Tuesday, May 7, 2019
Mr. GAETZ. Madam Speaker, today I rise to recognize Dr. William
Bowen, professor of political science at Pensacola Christian College,
for his twenty-six years of exemplary service and investment in
Northwest Florida.
Dr. Bowen began his service at Pensacola Christian College in 1992
when he approached the founder and president, Dr. Horton, about the
possibility of establishing a political science program at the College.
At this time, the College only offered a political science minor.
In 1993, Dr. Bowen officially joined the faculty of Pensacola
Christian College and began establishing the curriculum for the
foundational courses in PCC's political science concentration. By the
fall of 2004, the political science concentration was officially
offered under Dr. Bowen's guidance and expertise.
Dr. Bowen singlehandedly developed the entire political science
program at Pensacola Christian College. He has been responsible for the
curriculum development and teaching of every political science elective
offered at the College; moreover, he has also developed two graduate-
level courses for PCC's Master of Science in Curriculum and Instruction
with a History specialization.
Dr. Bowen's biblical worldview, understanding of America's founding,
and keen awareness of political trends have helped to shape one of the
most successful programs in the Humanities Department of Pensacola
Christian College. His faithful service and unrivaled scholarship have
earned him a place among the College's most distinguished faculty
members.
Dr. Bowen's wisdom and insight have been an inspiration and guide for
all his students, many of whom have become influential leaders in
Northwest Florida and across America. Some of Dr. Bowen's students have
attained the heights of American leadership, becoming influential
leaders in Washington, D.C.
Dr. Bowen's commitment to excellence in instruction has challenged
his students to reach new heights of scholastic achievement. His
exemplary scholarship has made him an invaluable instructor in both
national and state issues. Dr. Bowen has a profound influence on the
lives of each of the students he instructs.
The strength of America lies in the education of its future leaders,
and it is an honor for me to have exceptional professors in our
district such as Dr. William Bowen who are faithfully training future
American leaders that will one day shape the destiny of our great
country.
Madam Speaker, on behalf of the United States Congress, I am
privileged to congratulate Dr. William Bowen for his twenty-six years
of service and the exemplary legacy he leaves for the future leaders of
America.
