WHEREAS, The Honorable Ruth Jones McClendon, state |
|
|
representative for District 120, has established the McClendon |
|
|
Legislative Scholars Program at The University of Texas at San |
|
|
Antonio; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Since 2004, the McClendon Scholars Program, which is |
|
|
also known as the UTSA Legislative Scholars Program, has provided |
|
|
students with the chance to work full-time at the State Capitol |
|
|
during legislative sessions; Representative McClendon worked with |
|
|
Dr. Richard Gambitta, director of the university's Institute for |
|
|
Law and Public Affairs, to create this program, which allows |
|
|
participants to expand their knowledge and gain firsthand |
|
|
experience in Texas politics and government; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Representative McClendon has worked closely with |
|
|
UTSA and many donors to develop this prestigious program, which |
|
|
includes a $10,000 stipend; for the 82nd Legislative Session, she |
|
|
raised sufficient funds to offer this unique opportunity to 10 |
|
|
students, the largest class of scholars to date; by the end of this |
|
|
session, 26 McClendon Scholars will have successfully completed the |
|
|
program, and a number of its alumni have gone on to pursue careers |
|
|
in public service after graduation; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, By creating this significant initiative, |
|
|
Representative McClendon has enhanced the educational experience |
|
|
of a select group of young Texans, and in so doing, she is helping |
|
|
prepare a future generation of leaders; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby commend the Honorable Ruth Jones McClendon for |
|
|
her efforts in establishing and supporting the McClendon |
|
|
Legislative Scholars Program and congratulate her on its success; |
|
|
and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Representative McClendon as an expression of high |
|
|
regard by the Texas House of Representatives. |
