Bill > SRes543

This resolution commends Centenary College of Louisiana on its bicentennial, tracing the institution's rich history from its founding in 1825 as the College of Louisiana in Jackson, Louisiana, through its merger with Centenary College in 1845, and its relocation to Shreveport in 1908. The resolution highlights the college's significance as the oldest institution of higher learning in Louisiana and the oldest chartered liberal arts college west of the Mississippi River, acknowledging its resilience through challenges like the Civil War and its growth into a nationally ranked liberal arts institution. It recognizes the college's contributions to the Northwest Louisiana region, including its economic benefits and cultural enrichment, and formally commends the institution for its dedicated service to Louisiana and the United States. The resolution also includes a request for the Senate Secretary to transmit an official copy of the resolution to the college's president, provost, and bicentennial planning committee, thereby formally recognizing the institution's bicentennial milestone.
