  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend an 
outstanding young woman who attends Auburn University, which is located 
in my district in east-central Alabama. Auburn's Political Science 
Department recently started a new award that recognizes a student 
leader who excels in both the classroom and the community. It's my 
privilege to announce the first winner of Auburn's Political Science 
Leadership Award, Ms. Emily Scammell. A faculty committee selected her 
in recognition of her superb credentials.
  Hailing from Daphne, Alabama, Emily is a junior political science 
major. She's minoring in hunger studies, which is part of the 
Universities Fighting World Hunger Initiative between the World Food 
Programme and Auburn University. Emily has a 3.9 Cumulative Grade Point 
Average and has made the dean's list for six consecutive semesters. She 
is a student in the Honors College at Auburn, won the Phi Kappa Phi 
First Year Award and is a recipient of the Spirit of Auburn Founder's 
Scholarship and the Academic Enrichment Scholarship.
  Emily is active in student government, having served as director of 
honors activities and assistant director of organization programs. She 
is co-founder and vice president of the Campus Kitchen/Hunger Studies 
Group and an officer in her sorority. Emily volunteers at the East 
Alabama Food Bank and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Auburn. She has also 
worked at the Bay Area Food Bank in Theodore, Alabama, and the World 
Food Programme in Washington, D.C.
  Mr. Speaker, I offer my congratulations to Emily and thank Auburn 
University for producing such outstanding students and citizens.
