                        HON. FREDERICA S. WILSON

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 11, 2023

  Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the service of 
Hilton Etienne, my intern who has completed his Spring 2023 semester 
serving the people of Florida's 24th Congressional District. Hilton has 
proven to be a very articulate young man and shows great promise for 
his future endeavors. Hilton has assisted my office in various areas, 
such as education policy, constituent outreach, and research. He has 
demonstrated an excellent drive and a continuous willingness to learn.
  Hilton Etienne is a proud first generation Haitian American from 
Pompano Beach, FL. He is a current student at the University of Florida 
majoring in Economics. While at the University of Florida, he has 
orchestrated college prep workshops for underrepresented high school 
students to obtain access to higher education through the Bridges 
Multicultural Outreach Program and has spent the last year serving as 
the elected secretary of the Black Student Union. His experience in 
Student Government and the Black Student Union has empowered him to 
pursue a career around helping students achieve their dreams.
  Upon transitioning from his internship, Hilton will start a 
fellowship with the PPIA Junior Summer Institute at Princeton 
University. While there, he will spend 6 weeks taking graduate level 
coursework in Economics, Public Policy, and Foreign Relations to be 
well equipped to pursue a master's in public policy upon obtaining his 
bachelor's.
  On behalf of Florida's 24th Congressional District, I ask my 
colleagues to join me in honoring Hilton Etienne for his present and 
future accomplishments.
