	WHEREAS, Josselyn Obregon of Del Mar College earned
	recognition at the Texas Intercollegiate Press Association
	convention held in Dallas from March 30 through April 1, 2017; and
	WHEREAS, Founded in 1909, TIPA is considered the oldest and
	one of the largest collegiate press associations in the country,
	and today it hosts a wide range of journalism contests at its annual
	spring conference; this year, the Del Mar College newspaper, The
	Foghorn, placed first in Online Interactivity and second in
	Editorial, Overall Excellence, and Website Navigation, while the
	college's magazine, The Siren, finished second for Overall
	Excellence; and
	WHEREAS, In the individual categories, Ms. Obregon was
	awarded the first place prize for Radio Announcing Spanish, which
	was decided in an on-site live contest, and her separate entries in
	Spanish News Writing earned both the second and the third place
	awards; and
	WHEREAS, A native of Guatemala, Ms. Obregon studied
	communication and professional speaking at the University of San
	Carlos in Guatemala and also served as a member of the National
	Association of Sports Reporters in her home country; after moving
	to the United States in December 2013, she enrolled as a student in
	the English for Speakers of Other Languages Program at Del Mar
	College in 2015, and she intends to pursue a degree in journalism;
	as a contributor to The Foghorn, she shoots photographs and writes
	articles for the Spanish-speaking community; and
	WHEREAS, Through her outstanding work, Josselyn Obregon has
	contributed to Del Mar College's reputation for journalistic
	excellence, and she may take justifiable pride in her
	accomplishments; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
	Legislature hereby congratulate Josselyn Obregon on earning
	recognition at the Texas Intercollegiate Press Association 2017
	spring convention and extend to her sincere best wishes for
	continued success; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for Ms. Obregon as an expression of high regard by the
	Texas House of Representatives.
