H.R. No. 374

R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Members of the university's student government
association, faculty, and staff are gathering in Austin on February
16, 2011, to celebrate Stephen F. Austin State University Day at the
State Capitol and to commemorate the 87th anniversary of this
historic institution of higher learning; and
WHEREAS, Stephen F. Austin State University was established
as a teacher's college in 1923 and, although it has greatly expanded
its educational scope in the decades since, it continues to
graduate exceptionally well-prepared classroom teachers, coaches,
and administrators; it is also home to the Arthur Temple College of
Forestry and Agriculture and the Richard and Lucille DeWitt School
of Nursing; and
WHEREAS, The university's enrollment is at an all-time high
for the 2010-2011 academic year, and the student population
reflects the general diversity of the Lone Star State;
additionally, about half of all recent graduates are from the first
generation in their families to attend college; and
WHEREAS, The university continues to serve the population of
East Texas, while also drawing large numbers of students from both
the greater Houston metropolitan area and the Dallas-Fort Worth
Metroplex; moreover, the campus is a center for cultural,
educational, and recreational activities for the residents of the
Nacogdoches area, with the 136-acre Stephen F. Austin State
University Gardens being one of the highlights enjoyed by visitors;
and
WHEREAS, For nearly nine decades, members of the Stephen F.
Austin State University community have been making important
contributions to Texas and the world beyond, and it is most fitting
that they be honored on this special day; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature hereby recognize February 16, 2011, as Stephen F.
Austin State University Day at the State Capitol and extend to the
visiting delegation sincere best wishes for a memorable and
meaningful visit to Austin.
