Slaughter represented New York&#8217;s 25th congressional district\u2014which includes the Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ campuses\u2014for more than 30 years, and worked tirelessly to fund and support research initiatives at the URochester.<\/p>\n<style>.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }<\/style>\n<div class=\"embed-container\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yZH8_bYawBg\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"margin-top: 30px;\"><strong>President Rich Feldman issued a statement:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">On behalf of the URochester, I want to express my profound sadness at the news of Congresswoman Louise Slaughter\u2019s passing. I also want to extend my deepest condolences to her family and her staff. Louise was not only a close friend to this institution and to many who worked here, but she was also one of our greatest champions. She was a giant among her peers in the U.S. House of Representatives, a trailblazer, and a tireless advocate for science, healthcare, research, education, arts and the humanities, economic development, and women\u2019s rights. Even while being elevated as one of the most powerful members of Congress, Louise always remembered where she came from and her first priority was to her community and her constituents. Her contributions to the University and this region are enduring and her death is a significant loss to our state and the nation. Her achievements have left an indelible mark that will be felt for generations to come. The University was honored to have her open our new downtown business incubator only a couple of weeks ago, and we were extraordinarily proud to present her with the University\u2019s highest honor \u2013 the Eastman Medal \u2013 several years ago in recognition of her outstanding dedication as a public servant and for her extraordinary commitment to the citizens of New York and the nation. The University\u2019s flags will fly at half-staff in tribute to Louise Slaughter and her lifetime of extraordinary service, achievement, and leadership.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>In her words<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Louise Slaughter delivered the commencement address in 2009, after receiving the University&#8217;s George Eastman Medal.<\/p>\n<style>.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }<\/style>\n<div class='embed-container'><iframe src='https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MKD8A8dFNw0' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>\u201cYou have come to a very special school, as you know. The degree that you have earned from the Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ will be a door opener for you all over the world. And I hope that you will take a moment today to think about all of those who have gone before, to make this such an extraordinary university. So what I want most for you \u2013 and believe me because this university means so much to me you have no idea how much <strong><em>you<\/em><\/strong> mean to me \u2013 I want for you to go out from this university, from this city, remembering that this was a place of learning but also a place of a lot of love, a place of opportunity, and a place that throughout the rest of your life will have great meaning for you. And that you will know that because of the friends and the education that you have gotten here, the teachers who have taught you, all the great experiences that you\u2019ve had, that you are really ready to go out and take on life.
