WHEREAS, Members of The University of Texas of the Permian |
|
|
Basin Honors Program and Student Senate are visiting the State |
|
|
Capitol on January 31, 2013, to gain further insight into the |
|
|
workings of state government; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Begun in the fall of 2006, the UTPB Honors Program |
|
|
includes a three-course sequence in which students learn about |
|
|
ideas, authors, and trends that have been especially influential in |
|
|
shaping the world of the 21st century; participants must meet high |
|
|
academic standards, and they represent some of the university's top |
|
|
achievers; alumni of the program have gone on to careers in a |
|
|
variety of fields, with most pursuing graduate degrees in medicine; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The UTPB Student Senate represents the diverse needs |
|
|
and concerns of the university population and advocates for |
|
|
students' academic, intellectual, occupational, physical, and |
|
|
social well-being; a number of senate members are currently |
|
|
participating in the John Ben Shepperd Public Leadership |
|
|
Institute's 28th Annual Texas Leadership Forum; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Committed to learning about leadership, ethics, and |
|
|
public service, the accomplished men and women in these two |
|
|
programs have demonstrated the impressive talent and drive that |
|
|
will continue to serve them well beyond their days at UTPB, and it |
|
|
is indeed a pleasure to join in honoring these future leaders of the |
|
|
Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby welcome members of The University of Texas of |
|
|
the Permian Basin Honors Program and Student Senate to the State |
|
|
Capitol and congratulate them on their outstanding academic and |
|
|
civic endeavors. |
