Bill > SR208

This resolution commemorates the 50th anniversary of the University of Houston-Clear Lake (UHCL), a state university that was established in 1971 as a second campus of the University of Houston to serve the growing Clear Lake area. The resolution highlights UHCL's significant growth and achievements over five decades, noting that it has evolved from an initial graduate and upper-division campus to a comprehensive institution serving over 7,700 students with more than 90 undergraduate and graduate degree programs, including three doctoral programs. The university has been recognized for its community service, receiving multiple citations on the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll, and has been designated as a Hispanic-Serving Institution. The resolution celebrates UHCL's contributions to Texas education, including its specialized institutes like the Environmental Institute of Houston and the Center for Autism and Developmental Disabilities, and acknowledges its role in providing educational opportunities and contributing to the state's prosperity. The Texas Senate officially commemorates the university's milestone anniversary and extends best wishes to all associated with the institution, while also directing that an official copy of the resolution be prepared for UHCL as an expression of high regard.
