20-year tenure as president of Paris Junior College at the end of |

2023; and |

|
WHEREAS, The first female president of the college, Pam |
|
|
Anglin was appointed in 2003, when PJC had but a two-month |
|
|

|
|
stability, she has overseen its development as a national leader |
|
|
in an important transition by community colleges, away from |
|
|
open-door access and towards promotion of degree and certificate |
|
|
attainment; her efforts led to the school's selection for several |
|
|
national programs, including the Pathways Project, Achieving the |
|
|
Dream, and a student-success initiative of the Institute for |
|
|
Evidence-Based Change; PJC was named an Achieving the Dream |
|
|
Leader College, and it received the 2012 Excellence in Education |
|
|
Award from the Texas Association of Business; moreover, it has |
|
|
been twice recognized as one of the country's 50 fastest-growing |
|
|
community colleges; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Dr. Anglin has been a strong advocate for |
|
|
outcomes-based funding at the state level, and she helped form |
|
|
the Texas Community Colleges Consortium for Shared Resources to |
|
|
pursue cost savings in new enterprise resource planning software |
|
|
and annual allocations from the state legislature; among |
|
|
numerous leadership roles, she chaired the Northeast Texas |
|
|
Consortium of Colleges and Universities and served two terms each |
|
|
on the boards of the American Association of Community Colleges |
|
|
and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission |
|
|
on Colleges; she has further benefited her fellow citizens as a |
|
|
member of the Northeast Texas Workforce Board; the recipient of |
|
|
the Teamwork Award 2014 from Workforce Solutions Northeast |
|
|
Texas, she has been inducted into the Phi Theta Kappa CEO Hall of |

|
|
accolades include the organization's Shirley B. Gordon Award of |
|
|
Distinction; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Through her outstanding accomplishments, Pam |
|
|
Anglin has advanced the vital mission of Paris Junior College and |
|
|
made a positive impact at the state and national level, and she |
|
|
may indeed reflect with pride on her many contributions; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th |
|
|
