A concurrent RESOLUTION
TO RECOGNIZE APRIL 19, 2024, AS "SOUTH CAROLINA HIGHER EDUCATION DAY."
Whereas, the South Carolina Commission on Higher Education has represented public colleges and universities for 56 years; and
Whereas, South Carolina Independent Colleges and Universities ("SCICU") has represented independent, private institutions of higher education for 70 years; and
Whereas, the South Carolina Technical College System has represented public technical colleges for 62 years; and
Whereas, 84 institutions of higher learning across South Carolina serve more than two hundred and thirty-six thousand students, of whom seventy-three percent are South Carolina residents; and,
Whereas, an accessible and affordable higher education for every South Carolinian is essential to ensuring that our state has the trained and skilled workforce to compete for jobs and investment in the future; and,
Whereas, higher levels of education provide many benefits not only to students, but their families, and the communities in which they live and work; and,
Whereas, public and independent colleges and universities in the Palmetto State share a common commitment to promoting critical thinking and creativity by preparing their students to be engaged citizens; and,
Whereas, graduates of colleges and universities serve in positions of leadership throughout South Carolina, helping to secure the brightest future for our state. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, recognize April 19, 2024 as "South Carolina Higher Education Day."
