WHEREAS, Members of the university's student government |
|
|
association, faculty, and staff are gathering in Austin on February |
|
|
16, 2011, to celebrate Stephen F. Austin State University Day at the |
|
|
State Capitol and to commemorate the 87th anniversary of this |
|
|
historic institution of higher learning; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Stephen F. Austin State University was established |
|
|
as a teacher's college in 1923 and, although it has greatly expanded |
|
|
its educational scope in the decades since, it continues to |
|
|
graduate exceptionally well-prepared classroom teachers, coaches, |
|
|
and administrators; it is also home to the Arthur Temple College of |
|
|
Forestry and Agriculture and the Richard and Lucille DeWitt School |
|
|
of Nursing; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The university's enrollment is at an all-time high |
|
|
for the 2010-2011 academic year, and the student population |
|
|
reflects the general diversity of the Lone Star State; |
|
|
additionally, about half of all recent graduates are from the first |
|
|
generation in their families to attend college; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The university continues to serve the population of |
|
|
East Texas, while also drawing large numbers of students from both |
|
|
the greater Houston metropolitan area and the Dallas-Fort Worth |
|
|
Metroplex; moreover, the campus is a center for cultural, |
|
|
educational, and recreational activities for the residents of the |
|
|
Nacogdoches area, with the 136-acre Stephen F. Austin State |
|
|
University Gardens being one of the highlights enjoyed by visitors; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, For nearly nine decades, members of the Stephen F. |
|
|
Austin State University community have been making important |
|
|
contributions to Texas and the world beyond, and it is most fitting |
|
|
that they be honored on this special day; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby recognize February 16, 2011, as Stephen F. |
|
|
Austin State University Day at the State Capitol and extend to the |
|
|
visiting delegation sincere best wishes for a memorable and |
|
|
meaningful visit to Austin. |
