Today, I rise in honor of UCLA's Chancellor Gene Block to thank him for 17 years of leadership at America's premier public institution of education, UCLA. Since 2007, Chancellor Block has increased accessibility and diversity, grown enrollment, and doubled funding for research at UCLA. Today, nearly a third of UCLA graduates are first-generation college students, as Chancellor Block was himself. Madam Speaker, as a proud UCLA alumnus, I thank Chancellor Block for his service to the public and to the Bruin community, and for keeping UCLA as a top research institution in the Nation. Go Bruins.
