H.R. No. 262

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Students, faculty, staff, alumni, administrators,
	and members of the board of regents from the University of Houston
	are visiting Austin on February 12, 2019, to participate in
	University of Houston Day at the State Capitol; and
	WHEREAS, The Tier One campus is located in the nation's
	fourth largest city, within a region that is home to a quarter of
	the state's population and that generates nearly a third of the
	state's gross product; the student body, numbering more than
	46,000, including many first-generation college students, mirrors
	the rich cultural tapestry of Houston; and
	WHEREAS, Each year, the university awards more than 10,000
	degrees in 261 undergraduate and graduate academic programs; it now
	counts more than 285,000 alumni, many of whom stay in Texas, where
	they contribute to the success of our communities and our state; and
	WHEREAS, Under the able leadership of chancellor and
	president Renu Khator, UH launched a $1 billion system-wide
	fund-raising campaign that is close to reaching its goal, fueled in
	part by gifts such as the one that will cover tuition for the entire
	inaugural class of the new UH College of Medicine, whose focus is to
	prepare doctors to serve in the state's underserved communities;
	and
	WHEREAS, The university is home to 5 nationally funded
	research centers and 25 university research centers and institutes,
	and had $177.7 million in research expenditures last year, mainly
	in the critical areas of cyber and national security, drug
	discovery and development, sustainable communities and
	infrastructure, and accessible health care; and
	WHEREAS, For more than nine decades, the University of
	Houston has contributed significantly to creating generation after
	generation of productive and responsible citizens; now, therefore,
	be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize February 12, 2019, as University of
	Houston Day at the State Capitol and extend to all participants
	sincere best wishes for an informative and enjoyable visit.
