WHEREAS, February 13, 2013, is University of Houston System |
|
Day at the State Capitol, and the occasion provides a fitting |
|
opportunity to recognize all those associated with the institutions |
|
that are part of this notable system; and |
|
WHEREAS, The University of Houston System is composed of the |
|
University of Houston, the University of Houston-Clear Lake, the |
|
University of Houston-Downtown, and the University of |
|
Houston-Victoria, and off-campus teaching centers UH-Sugar Land, |
|
UHS-Cinco Ranch, UHCL-Pearland, UHS-Northwest, and UHS-Texas |
|
Medical Center; with a current enrollment of 66,000 students in |
|
Southeast Texas and the Coastal Bend region, UH System components |
|
are meeting higher education needs in an area that is home to a |
|
quarter of the state's population and that generates nearly a third |
|
of the state's gross product; and |
|
WHEREAS, More than 300,000 students have graduated from the |
|
four UH System universities, and a great majority of them remain in |
|
Texas to live and work, thereby adding to the economic and social |
|
vitality of the state, and the regional economic impact of the |
|
system itself is over $3 billion annually; and |
|
WHEREAS, Today, the system benefits from the able leadership |
|
of chancellor and University of Houston president Renu Khator, |
|
University of Houston-Clear Lake president William Staples, |
|
University of Houston-Downtown president Bill Flores, and |
|
University of Houston-Victoria president Phil Castille; and |
|
WHEREAS, Throughout its history, the University of Houston |
|
System has provided students with an outstanding education and a |
|
strong foundation for the future, and in so doing, it has played a |
|
pivotal role in the prosperity of the Lone Star State; now, |
|
therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
Legislature hereby recognize February 13, 2013, as University of |
|
Houston System Day at the State Capitol and extend a warm welcome to |
|
all those from the UH System who are visiting here today. |
