|
|
College Day at the State Capitol; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Established in 1965, Texas State Technical |
|
|
College is a two-year technical training institution focused on |
|
|
advanced and emerging technologies; the college offers numerous |

|
|
Sweetwater, Waco, and Williamson County; in recent years, the |
|
|
college has seen an increase in enrollment, in the number of |
|
|
degrees and certificates awarded, and in job placements while |
|

the school are determined by student earnings and associated |
|
|
state tax revenues; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Texas State Technical College provides Texans |
|
|
with the opportunity to master leading-edge technical skills and |
|
|
to develop expertise in their career fields, and it is indeed |
|
|
fitting to recognize the school for its contributions to the |
|
|
prosperity and economic well-being of the Lone Star State; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th |
|
|
Legislature, hereby commend the leaders, administrators, and |
|
|
faculty of Texas State Technical College on their outstanding |
|
|
commitment to excellence in higher education and extend to all |
|
|
best wishes for continued success and for a memorable and |
|
|
rewarding visit to the State Capitol; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in |
|
|
honor of this special occasion. |
