SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 820
         WHEREAS, Thirty Texas A&M University students are
  providing valuable support to the 83rd Texas Legislature while
  gaining experience in public service as members of the
  Agricultural and Natural Resources Policy Internship Program and
  the Public Policy Internship Program; and
         WHEREAS, For more than two decades, the Agricultural and
  Natural Resources Policy Internship Program has sent student
  interns to Austin and Washington, D.C., where they work on a wide
  array of issues; their strong background and interest in
  agriculture and natural resources allow them to offer
  specialized knowledge to legislators; the program was founded in
  response to a request by a member of the United States Congress
  for an intern who could assist his office with these matters, and
  it has since grown to include numerous congressional offices as
  well as the United States House of Representatives Committee on
  Agriculture, the United States Department of Agriculture, and
  offices on the state level during legislative years; more than
  700 students have participated in semester-long internships; and
         WHEREAS, The Public Policy Internship Program, established
  in 1999, works with various colleges and departments to create an
  interdisciplinary environment for comprehensive academic
  training, research, and policy programming; interns in the
  nation's capital and in Austin serve in a variety of settings
  that align with their academic and professional goals; more than
  400 students have participated in semester-long internships; and
         WHEREAS, Led by director Heather Wheeler, both internship
  programs select their highly qualified and dedicated
  participants through a rigorous application process; in addition
  to academic achievement, students must demonstrate their
  potential to take full advantage of the opportunities for
  scholarly and professional development as well as the desire to
  serve our state and nation; and
         WHEREAS, The 2013 Texas A&M University policy interns
  serving in Austin are RosaLeah Brite, Ethan Caudillo, Tatiana
  Claros, Macy Cotton, Kaysi Dean, Meredith Earwood, Daniel Evert,
  Jamie Feldt, Paige Fuselier, Joel Garcia, Crystal Gonzales,

  Kaleb McLaurin, Sarah Norman, Grace Richardson, Jesus Rodriguez,
  Jennifer Salazar, Morgan Scott, Xanthe Shirley, Daniela Silva,
  Bryan Smith, JohnPaul Wiechkoske, and Anna Wood; and
         WHEREAS, Through the years, the Agricultural and Natural
  Resources Policy Internship Program and the Public Policy
  Internship Program have helped exceptional students deepen their
  understanding of governmental operations while developing
  professional skills and networks, and alumni have gone on to make
  vital contributions and assume leadership roles in a variety of
  arenas; the outstanding young people who are giving of their time
  and talents throughout this legislative session can indeed take
  pride in their achievements and service to the Lone Star State;
  now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd
  Legislature, hereby recognize the Texas A&M University
  Agricultural and Natural Resources Policy Internship Program and
  the Public Policy Internship Program and commend the current
  participants for their diligence and commitment; and, be it
  further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be
  prepared for the students as an expression of high regard from
  the Texas Senate.
