  Mr. RYAN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
outstanding collection of talented young women and men that make up the 
University of Mount Union Concert Choir. Hailing from Alliance, Ohio 
the University of Mount Union Concert Choir is one of the oldest 
collegiate choirs in the United States. It is world renowned, touring 
the U.S. and abroad. Last year, they traveled to Austria and had an 
opportunity to perform inside many historically significant churches, 
cathedrals, and abbeys. These remarkable young musicians are from a 
variety of academic disciplines such as biology, criminal justice, 
neuroscience, mathematics, political science, and more.
   The Choir is led by Dr. Grant William Cook, III, who is a Kent State 
University alumni and accomplished musicologist. The Concert Choir 
recently visited Washington D.C. and performed at the National 
Cathedral on May 8th--Mother's Day. I am proud to recognize such gifted 
young Ohioans and welcome you to join me in celebrating their 
achievements.
