  Mr. LONG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and congratulate 
Melanie Morgan, an outstanding student at Missouri State University, on 
her selection to receive the Citizen Scholar Award.
  Each year, this prestigious award is given by Missouri State 
University's Board of Governors to students who have contributed to the 
university, furthered the university's public affairs mission, and have 
been significantly engaged in extra-curricular accomplishments and/or 
in important service activities in the community. Since the award was 
created in 2007, only forty-seven students have been recognized for 
their stellar achievements.
  Melanie, from Springfield, Missouri, was one of a handful of 
exceptional students to receive

the award this year. She is currently a senior dietetics major with 
minors in biomedical sciences and international nutrition. Melanie has 
been recognized for her dedication to help and serve the community, 
never focusing on herself and demonstrating a strong desire to help 
others.
  Mr. Speaker, Melanie Morgan's accomplishments have set a great 
example of what a Citizen Scholar should be, this award represents a 
great deal of her hard work and dedication. I am proud to represent 
students like her and I urge my colleagues to join me in congratulating 
her on this well-deserved achievement.
