                    TRIBUTE TO CAROLYN E. DALLINGER

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. TOM LATHAM

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, November 18, 2010

  Mr. LATHAM. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Carolyn E. 
Dallinger of Huxley, Iowa, as the recipient of the 2010 Iowa Professor 
of the Year award. She was honored at a reception in Washington, D.C., 
on November 18.
  The U.S. Professors of the Year program, which is sponsored by the 
Council for Advancement and Support of Education and the Carnegie 
Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, is the only national 
program to recognize excellence in undergraduate teaching and 
mentoring.
  Carolyn is currently an Assistant Professor of Social Work and 
Criminal Justice at Simpson College. She enjoys incorporating service 
learning components within her classroom teaching whenever possible. An 
example of this includes having her social policy students serve meals 
to hungry or homeless people.
  Besides being involved in sporting events and extracurricular 
activities at Simpson College, Carolyn also serves as a junior/senior 
high school youth group leader for her church. The youth group has 
taken several mission trips across the country to serve less fortunate 
people. She is also a member of the church choir and participates as a 
church accompanist.
  Carolyn Dallinger is an incredible teacher, and her dedication to her 
profession and to her students should make every Iowan proud. It's an 
honor to represent her in the United States Congress, and I know that 
my colleagues in the House join me in congratulating Carolyn on this 
well-deserved award and thanking her for her dedicated service to her 
community and America's young adults.
