This resolution recognizes March 5, 2025, as University of Houston-Clear Lake (UHCL) Day at the State Capitol, paying tribute to the institution's significant history and contributions. UHCL, which was established in 1971 and traces its origins to a University of Houston campus serving the Clear Lake area, has grown to become a comprehensive four-year university enrolling over 8,100 students annually and offering 43 undergraduate, 49 graduate, and 3 doctoral degrees across multiple colleges. The resolution highlights the university's academic achievements, including its STEM education programs, doctoral initiatives, and plans to introduce an aerospace engineering degree in fall 2025. It also emphasizes UHCL's community impact, noting its specialized research centers, impressive alumni network (which includes over 400 CEOs and 10 astronauts), and commitment to providing a supportive educational environment. The Texas House of Representatives formally welcomes UHCL's delegation and celebrates the institution's 50th anniversary and ongoing contributions to higher education in the state.
