HONORING ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS, DAVIER RODRIGUEZ AND JESUS 
                                CISNEROS

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. KYRSTEN SINEMA

                               of arizona

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 11, 2013

  Ms. SINEMA. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring 
Arizona State University students, Davier Rodriguez and Jesus Cisneros, 
winners of the Clinton Global Initiative University's 2013 Commitments 
Challenge.
  Mr. Rodriguez and Mr. Cisneros are the leaders of DREAMzone ASU, a 
professional development workshop aimed at bettering the ability of 
student leaders, staff, and faculty to meet the social, cultural and 
academic needs of undocumented students at Arizona State University.
  DREAMzone ASU strives to establish a network of support as part of a 
national network of allies through a four-hour certification program. 
Those enrolled in the program expand their content knowledge regarding 
federal, state, local, and institutional policies that directly affect 
the undocumented college student experience. Participants also actively 
work to increase their knowledge of the challenges faced by 
undocumented students at ASU, and by challenging assumptions through 
meaningful dialogue and interaction.
  The Clinton Global Initiative University's Commitments Challenge 
involved a rigorous application process and four rounds of intensive 
online voting, in which DREAMzone emerged victorious. I ask my 
colleagues to join me in congratulating Mr. Rodriguez and Mr. Cisneros 
on this accomplishment, and on their hard work to help make many DREAMs 
a reality.
