	Capitol; and
	WHEREAS, One of the nation's preeminent historically Black
	colleges and universities, TSU was founded in 1927; it was

	steadfast commitment to innovative approaches that respond to the
	metropolitan environment; and
	WHEREAS, The university now serves approximately 7,500
	undergraduate and graduate students from around the world; it
	offers well over 100 baccalaureate, master's, and doctoral degree
	programs in numerous schools, including the Barbara Jordan-Mickey
	Leland School of Public Affairs, named after two alumni who served
	with distinction in the United States Congress; and
	WHEREAS, TSU is noted for its Thurgood Marshall School of Law
	and its College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences; the university is
	also active in the Texas Legislative Internship Program, which
	grants students the opportunity to gain valuable experience in
	state government, alongside many legislators who share personal
	ties to their alma mater; and
	WHEREAS, Under the leadership of its 13th president,
	Dr. Lesia L. Crumpton-Young, TSU has redoubled its efforts to
	increase student success rates and academic rigor while expanding
	its research programs, enhancing its culture, and developing
	stronger relationships with Houston public schools, local
	community colleges, alumni, and other stakeholders; and
	WHEREAS, For nearly a century, Texas Southern University has
	played an important role in higher education in the Lone Star State,
	and its graduates continue to achieve success and make significant
	contributions in numerous fields of endeavor; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize March 7, 2023, as Texas Southern
	University Day at the State Capitol and extend to all those
	associated with the institution sincere best wishes for the future;
	and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
