| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| recognize the College of Agriculture and Human Sciences at | ||
| Prairie View A&M University on its outstanding contributions to | ||
| higher education in the Lone Star State; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The College of Agriculture and Human Sciences at | ||
| Prairie View A&M University is a land-grant institution founded | ||
| in 1876 and dedicated to achieving excellence in teaching, | ||
| research, and service; the college offers an extensive | ||
| curriculum in the disciplines that pertain to natural resources, | ||
| food, and agriculture and creates learning opportunities for | ||
| students to prepare them to respond to the challenges of the | ||
| future with intelligence, expertise, and wisdom; and | ||
| WHEREAS, A competitive learning institution dedicated to | ||
| education, service, and research in agricultural education, | ||
| human ecology, and nutrition, the college is committed to | ||
| academic excellence and to the promotion of health and wellness | ||
| in its students and in the communities it serves; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Throughout its history, the college has focused | ||
| on strengthening its four pillars: academics, research, | ||
| educational extension services, and farming; these pedagogical | ||
| branches have advanced the college's ethos of supporting farmers | ||
| and spreading agricultural and nutritional education to both | ||
| rural and urban communities in Texas; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The college is a highly valued resource for the | ||
| farmers and agricultural producers that it serves, as more than | ||
| 90 percent of agricultural operations in Texas are family farms, | ||
| partnerships, and family-held corporations; its academic unit, | ||
| extension program, and research center do much to benefit | ||
| underrepresented and underserved communities, and it is truly | ||
| fitting that the college receive special recognition; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th | ||
| Legislature, hereby commend all who have contributed their | ||
| efforts and support to the College of Agriculture and Human | ||
| Sciences at Prairie View A&M University and join in celebrating | ||
| this exemplary institution for its many successes and its | ||
| outstanding contributions to Texans and to the Lone Star State; | ||
| and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
| the college as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. | ||
| Kolkhorst, Miles, West | ||
