                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. MIKE ROGERS

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 18, 2014

  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 is my 
honor to announce that Ms. Carol Linde is this year's winner of 
Auburn's Political Science Leadership Award. A faculty committee 
selected Carole after careful consideration of her outstanding 
credentials.
  Carol grew up in Delaware. She is a senior pursuing a dual degree in 
Political Science and Psychology, with minors in English and Women's 
Studies. With a perfect 4.0 cumulative grade point average, Carol has 
been rightfully recognized for her academic abilities as the recipient 
of many awards, including the Sloan Y. Bashinsky, Sr. and Sam Long 
Hutchinson endowed scholarships. She is on the Dean's List, and is a 
member of Auburn's Honors Congress, the National Society of Collegiate 
Scholars and several other honor societies.
  Carol has demonstrated her leadership in multiple ways. At Auburn, 
she has worked as a peer instructor for first year students in the 
Honors College, tutored student athletes and provided writing 
assistance for students through Auburn's Miller Writing Center. Beyond 
campus, she has helped spearhead recycling efforts on football 
gamedays, assisted with the East Alabama Food Bank and assisted local 
preschools' Head Start programs.
  Carol has also involved herself in the policymaking process as an 
intern. She interned in the state office of our colleague in the other 
chamber, Senator Tom Carper, as well as in my district office in 
Opelika, Alabama. As with everything else in which she has 
participated, Carol did an outstanding job working on behalf of the 
citizens of my district, and I am sincerely grateful for her efforts. I 
am convinced her record of service and success will continue after she 
graduates in May 2015, and I look forward to hearing of her future 
accomplishments.
  Mr. Speaker, I offer my congratulations to Carol, and express my 
appreciation to her parents, Eric and Melinda Linde, and to Auburn 
University for producing such an outstanding student and citizen.
