WHEREAS, For the past century, the Texas A&M Engineering |
|
Experiment Station has served as the state's engineering and |
|
technology development agency; and |
|
WHEREAS, The station was established in August 1914, and in |
|
1948, it was incorporated into The Texas A&M University System; |
|
today, TEES has a close relationship with Texas A&M University and |
|
partners with 15 other universities and 11 two-year colleges across |
|
the state; in carrying out its mission, it collaborates with |
|
communities, public school districts, the private sector, and the |
|
federal government; and |
|
WHEREAS, Fostering innovation in research, education, and |
|
technology, TEES benefits industry and business in myriad ways; its |
|
outreach to community colleges helps to build the state's |
|
technology workforce and promotes the successful transfer of |
|
students from two-year to four-year institutions; in addition, TEES |
|
serves as a catalyst for collaborations that enhance research |
|
capabilities statewide and that put Texas in a strong position for |
|
securing federal grants; and |
|
WHEREAS, Over the past 100 years, the Texas A&M Engineering |
|
Experiment Station has spurred economic development and provided |
|
practical answers to critical state and national needs, and in so |
|
doing, it has contributed significantly to the quality of life in |
|
the Lone Star State and beyond; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|
Legislature hereby commemorate the centennial of the Texas A&M |
|
Engineering Experiment Station and extend to all those associated |
|
with this outstanding institution sincere best wishes for continued |
|
success in their important work; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
prepared for TEES as an expression of high regard by the Texas House |
|
of Representatives. |
