CONGRATULATING DHWANI KHAREL ON BEING NAMED SOUTH DAKOTA'S 2021 TRUMAN 
                                SCHOLAR

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. DUSTY JOHNSON

                            of south dakota

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 20, 2021

  Mr. JOHNSON of South Dakota. Madam Speaker, I rise today to 
congratulate Dhwani Kharel on being named South Dakota's 2021 Truman 
Scholar.
  The Truman Scholarship was established by Congress in 1975 as a 
living legacy to President Harry Truman to support and inspire the next 
generation of public service leaders. Dhwani was one of 62 Scholars 
selected from a record number of 845 applicants.
  As a junior at Dartmouth College, Dhwani has already demonstrated a 
commitment to public service and leadership. She is actively involved 
in sexual violence prevention advocacy on Dartmouth's campus and has 
interned at both the Congressional Research Service and the Brookings 
Area United Way.
  I commend Dhwani for her outstanding record of service, hard work, 
and leadership. I have no doubt she will excel in the future as she 
plans to pursue a career in the legal field to advance women's rights.
  As a Truman Scholar myself, I am honored to congratulate Dhwani on 
this honor. I look forward to seeing all that she accomplishes.

                          ____________________
