                      Wednesday, January 21, 2015

  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Jillian Ross for 
being elected to the Columbia University senate for a two-year term 
through 2016. Jillian is a 2012 graduate of Clements High School in 
Sugar Land, Texas and a chemical/biomedical engineering junior at 
Columbia University.
  Ms. Ross is the first African-American woman elected to represent 
Columbia's Fu Foundation School of Engineering in the department's 150-
year history. Through her position in the university's senate, Jillian 
will work with the school's president and faculty to shape policy on 
issues that affect the student body and greater Columbia University 
community.
  I commend Jillian Ross for her dedication to serving the interests of 
her fellow students and taking on the responsibilities that leadership 
brings. On behalf of the residents of the Twenty-Second Congressional 
District of Texas, congratulations to Jillian for winning a seat in the 
Columbia University Senate.
