                        CONGRATULATING ABBY CROW

  (Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate a 
young woman from my district for her appointment to fill an important 
seat in the State of Iowa.
  On April 16, Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds appointed Abby Crow, a native 
of

Tiffin, Iowa, and a sophomore human physiology major at the University 
of Iowa, to fill the student seat on the State Board of Regents.
  The Board of Regents, which governs five public educational 
institutions across Iowa, first established a student regent position 
in 1973 to give students a say in decisionmaking. Since then, five 
University of Iowa students have served in this position.
  On April 28, Abby was unanimously confirmed to serve on the board, 
six years since the last Hawkeye student filled the seat.
  The student regent seat is incredibly important, and I have 
tremendous faith that Abby will be an excellent representative for the 
university and for her fellow students.
