“tonight the Humane Society of Greater Miami is hosting a ``Welcome to South Florida'' reception. The event is being held to welcome University of Miami President Donna Shalala and her dog, Cheka, to south Florida. President Shalala was the longest-serving Secretary for Health and Human Services in U.S. history. Before that, she served as Chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the first woman to head a Big 10 university. She is now at a new job that she loves, President of the University of Miami, a major and leading research university in the southeastern United States, located in my congressional district. President Shalala says that Cheka ``speaks English and Spanish and is a perfect fit for south Florida, the Gateway of the Americas.'' We thank Kelly Grimm and the Humane Society of Greater Miami for their dedication to helping homeless animals, and Donna Shalala as president of the University of Miami.”
