Bill > HR125

This resolution congratulates Rice University for being named to Forbes magazine's inaugural list of New Ivies in 2024, a designation that recognizes 10 public and 10 private universities known for attracting high-achieving students and producing graduates sought after by employers. The resolution highlights Rice University's longstanding reputation as a globally oriented private institution founded in 1912, located in Houston, with over 8,800 students and an impressive 6-to-1 student-to-faculty ratio. The university was evaluated alongside more than 1,700 eligible colleges based on standardized test scores, admissions selectivity, and hiring manager surveys, ultimately being recognized for its commitment to academic excellence, quality of life, and value. The Texas House of Representatives formally acknowledges Rice University's achievement, extending best wishes for continued success and preparing an official copy of the resolution to express their high regard for the institution's educational contributions and ongoing commitment to preparing students with high standards of knowledge, skill, and professionalism.
