Floor Speech

Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the University of Georgia's Natalie Navarrete for being named a 2023 Rhodes Scholar, an honor received by only the most outstanding young minds from around the world.

As many of you know, the Rhodes Scholarship is the oldest and most celebrated international fellowship award in the world. To be recognized with such an honor is synonymous with the qualities typical of the brightest people this country has to offer: hardworking, brilliant, and boundary pushing.

Natalie is no exception. A Morehead Honors College student and foundation fellow at the University of Georgia, Natalie is pursuing degrees in international affairs, Russian, Spanish, and Latin American and Caribbean studies.

She will continue her studies at the University of Oxford in October where she plans to pursue a master's degree in Russian and Eastern European studies. I have no doubt that she will continue to excel in these studies and make important breakthroughs in her field.

I join the entire University of Georgia family in congratulating Natalie on this truly extraordinary achievement. Her success is a testament to world-class opportunities offered by the University of Georgia, and I am confident that she will continue to make us all proud for years to come.
