                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 16, 2013

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend an 
outstanding young leader who attends Auburn University, which is a 
leading research and educational institution in my district in Alabama. 
Auburn's political science department each year recognizes a student 
leader who excels in both the classroom and the community. It's my 
honor to announce that Mr. Elliott Lynn is this year's winner of 
Auburn's Political Science Leadership Award. A faculty committee 
selected Elliott after careful consideration of his outstanding 
credentials.
  Elliott is from Phenix City, Alabama. He is a senior political 
science major with an outstanding 3.95 Cumulative Grade Point Average. 
Elliot is a National Merit Scholar and on the Dean's List. He is a 
member of many honor societies, including Phi Eta Sigma, Pi Sigma Alpha 
and Pi Lambda Sigma. Elliott is an Honors College Drummond Scholar and 
a recipient of the Auburn University Marie Glass Ward Endowed Academic 
Scholarship.
  Elliott is active in helping the community, and he participated in 
multiple service trips to underserved communities in the U.S. and in 
developing countries. He went to Haiti to build housing for the victims 
of the 2010 earthquake. He also volunteered as a teaching assistant 
with the Victory Mission at a church in Columbus, Georgia, and 
volunteers at the Columbus Habitat. Last summer, Elliott had the 
opportunity to intern with our colleague in the other chamber, Senator 
Richard Shelby, and he has also interned with a Circuit Court Judge in 
Alabama.
  After graduating from Auburn, Elliott plans to attend law school and 
work in human rights or public interest law. He hopes his career will 
allow him the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others.
  Mr. Speaker, I offer my congratulations to Elliott and thank Auburn 
University for producing such outstanding students and citizens.
