Bill > SR533

This resolution recognizes and commends the Texas Legislative Internship Program Class of the 89th Legislature, a program established in 1990 by State Senator Rodney Ellis and administered by the Mickey Leland Center on Hunger, Poverty and World Peace at Texas Southern University. The resolution highlights the program's unique opportunity for college students to gain practical experience by serving as interns in the Texas Legislature, state agencies, and local government, where they receive academic credit and firsthand knowledge of governmental processes. By name, it specifically acknowledges 47 individual student interns who have contributed significantly to their assigned offices and districts through their diligence and resourcefulness. The resolution formally recognizes these young professionals' efforts, expresses best wishes for their future, and directs that an official copy of the resolution be prepared for the intern class as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate.
