  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Dana Steiner for receiving the Golden Mayor's first-ever Goldmine 
Award, an honor recognizing the achievement and contributions of the 
students or faculty of the Colorado School of Mines.
   Dana Steiner, a senior at the School of Mines designed and 
implemented a community service project for the Mines Class of 2020, 
encouraging further collaboration between the university and city of 
Golden. Throughout the spring and summer, she identified projects 
benefiting city government departments, schools, civic organizations, 
the faith community, and individual residents. On August 20th, she 
successfully organized approximately 900 incoming students at more than 
25 Golden locations in and around Golden, for more than 1,000 hours of 
community service. Dana is a senior majoring in Biochemical and 
Chemical Engineering who is also involved in the Society of Women 
Engineers; an ally of Out in Science, Technology, Engineering; a member 
of Kappa Alpha Theta Sorority, Advocates Against Violence and for 
Education, the Ethics Bowl team, and Lead Peer Mentor.
   I congratulate Dana for being the recipient of this well-deserved 
honor by Mayor Marjorie Sloan, and I thank her for her contributions to 
the community.
