SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 475
|
|
WHEREAS, Students, faculty, and staff from Texas Tech |
|
University Health Sciences Center El Paso kicked off a yearlong |
|
celebration for the 10th anniversary of the Gayle Greve Hunt |
|
School of Nursing in May 2021; and |
|
WHEREAS, Funded by a $10-million grant from the Hunt Family |
|
Foundation, the Hunt School of Nursing opened its doors in |
|
September 2011 with the goal of addressing critical nursing |
|
shortages in the area; in the decade since, more than 800 |
|
students have graduated from the school, the vast majority of |
|
whom have stayed in the region; and |
|
WHEREAS, Today, the school offers three degree programs: |
|
an accelerated 16-month bachelor's degree in nursing, a BSN |
|
program for students who already hold an associate's degree, and |
|
a master's degree in nursing leadership; partnering with local |
|
hospitals, the school also provides vital opportunities for |
|
clinical rotations and postgraduation job placements; and |
|
WHEREAS, By training the next generation of medical |
|
professionals, the Hunt School of Nursing is helping to ensure |
|
the health and well-being of Texans in El Paso and beyond, and it |
|
is a pleasure to join in honoring the school on the occasion of |
|
this important milestone in its history; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th |
|
Legislature, hereby commemorate the 10th anniversary of the |
|
Gayle Greve Hunt School of Nursing at Texas Tech University |
|
Health Sciences Center El Paso and extend to all those associated |
|
with the school sincere best wishes for continued success; and, |
|
be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be |
|
prepared for the Hunt School of Nursing as an expression of high |
|
regard from the Texas Senate. |
