CONGRATULATING PIPER-DANAY SMITH ON RECEIVING THE CITIZEN SCHOLAR AWARD 
                     FROM MISSOURI STATE UNIVERSITY

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. BILLY LONG

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, February 26, 2016

  Mr. LONG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and congratulate 
Piper-Danay Smith, 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.
  Piper-Danay, from Grandview, Missouri, was one of a handful of 
exceptional students to receive the award this year. She is a senior 
nursing major who plans to become a nurse and has further aspirations 
to eventually obtaining a doctorate degree. Described by her professor 
as a strong leader and role model, Piper-Danay has displayed a 
dedication to helping others that extends past her own career goals in 
order to serve the people in her community.
  Mr. Speaker, Piper-Danay Smith'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.
