WHEREAS, El Paso Community College has been named one of the |
|
|
top 15 colleges in the nation offering an associate's degree in |
|
|
chemistry; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, College Cliffs, an online resource for information |
|
|
about colleges, ranked chemistry programs across the country |
|
|
according to several measures, including academic rigor, quality of |
|
|
instruction, accreditation, availability of financial aid, and |
|
|
overall value; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The website awarded El Paso Community College's |
|
|
chemistry program high marks for its quality, affordability, and |
|
|
small class sizes, as well as for the many opportunities available |
|
|
to EPCC students after completing their degree; students who earn |
|
|
an associate's degree in chemistry are able to acquire technician |
|
|
positions in the health, business, and industrial sectors, and |
|
|
their coursework also prepares them to transfer to a four-year |
|
|
institution and to potentially further their education with |
|
|
bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The chemistry program at El Paso Community College |
|
|
has helped to provide a path to success for countless students, and |
|
|
its recognition is indeed well deserved; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate El Paso Community College on being |
|
|
selected as one of the top 15 colleges in the nation offering an |
|
|
associate's degree in chemistry and extend sincere best wishes to |
|
|
EPCC's faculty and students; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for El Paso Community College as an expression of high |
|
|
regard by the Texas House of Representatives. |
