 Commending the National Student Leadership Conference for organizing

        service;
Whereas the National Student Leadership Conference has organized summer programs 
        for more than 10,000 high school students at a variety of college 
        campuses in the United States since 1989;
Whereas the mission of the National Student Leadership Conference is to provide 
        a safe and supportive environment that encourages students to explore 
        their academic and career interests outside of the traditional classroom 
        while developing leadership skills and gaining a global perspective;
Whereas the National Student Leadership Conference is committed to preparing

        students to realize their potential, make informed and thoughtful 
        decisions, set tangible goals, and work toward exceptional futures;
Whereas the National Student Leadership Foundation provides tuition assistance 
        through educator and general scholarships to disadvantaged, high-
        achieving, and community service-oriented high school students;
Whereas the National Student Leadership Conference values partnerships with 
        organizations such as the J. David Gladstone Institutes of the 
        University of California, San Francisco, and the Northwestern University 
        Feinberg School of Medicine;
Whereas the National Student Leadership Conference has partnered with the 
        National Relief Network since 2008 to provide alumni of the National 
        Student Leadership Conference with opportunities to participate in 
        community service and explore leadership and development in areas 
        affected by natural disasters throughout the United States; and
Whereas the National Student Leadership Conference continues to create career-
        focused, leadership-driven, community service-oriented summer 
        programming for talented high school students throughout the United 
        States: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
                    (1) commends the National Student Leadership 
                Conference for working for more than 20 years toward 
                providing high school students with enhanced 
                educational experiences; and
