WHEREAS, A delegation from The University of Texas at San |
|
Antonio is visiting Austin on February 22, 2023, for UTSA Day at the |
|
State Capitol; and |
|
WHEREAS, Established in 1969, UTSA first opened its doors in |
|
1973 with around 650 students enrolled at the graduate level; the |
|
university has since grown significantly, with campuses throughout |
|
San Antonio and a robust online-learning program; UTSA currently |
|
serves more than 34,000 students of diverse backgrounds, nearly |
|
half of whom are the first in their families to attend college; it |
|
has also led the way in Latino student success, earning a Seal of |
|
Excelencia from Excelencia in Education; and |
|
WHEREAS, Among the top four percent of research universities |
|
in the nation, UTSA holds a Tier 1 status from the Carnegie |
|
Classification of Institutions of Higher Education; faculty |
|
researchers from the university have secured more than 390 research |
|
awards totaling over $100 million; in addition to expanding |
|
discovery activities, those awards have furthered collaboration |
|
between faculty researchers and partners across the nation and |
|
provided students with exceptional learning opportunities; |
|
moreover, the university has partnered with UT Health San Antonio |
|
to advance biomedical research through the San Antonio Life |
|
Sciences Institute; and |
|
WHEREAS, UTSA also received three National Centers of |
|
Academic Excellence in Cybersecurity recognitions from the |
|
National Security Agency; boasting one of the largest |
|
government-university-industry cybersecurity ecosystems in the |
|
nation, UTSA is home to the National Security Collaboration Center, |
|
the Cybersecurity Manufacturing Innovation Institute, and the |
|
School of Data Science, the first of its kind in Texas; and |
|
WHEREAS, An engine of social and economic prosperity, UTSA |
|
has graduated nearly 35,000 students in the last five years; the |
|
school continues to increase its enrollment, and its predicted |
|
growth will serve to prepare even more Texans for the workforce; and |
|
WHEREAS, Since its founding, The University of Texas at San |
|
Antonio has provided its students with a strong foundation for |
|
achievement, and in so doing, it has played a significant role in |
|
enhancing the quality of life in the Lone Star State; now, |
|
therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas |
|
Legislature hereby recognize February 22, 2023, as UTSA Day at the |
|
State Capitol and extend to all those associated with the |
|
institution sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it |
|
further |
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
prepared for The University of Texas at San Antonio as an expression |
|
of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives. |
