H.R. No. 266

R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, A delegation from The University of Texas at San
Antonio is visiting Austin on February 22, 2023, for UTSA Day at the
State Capitol; and
WHEREAS, Established in 1969, UTSA first opened its doors in
1973 with around 650 students enrolled at the graduate level; the
university has since grown significantly, with campuses throughout
San Antonio and a robust online-learning program; UTSA currently
serves more than 34,000 students of diverse backgrounds, nearly
half of whom are the first in their families to attend college; it
has also led the way in Latino student success, earning a Seal of
Excelencia from Excelencia in Education; and
WHEREAS, Among the top four percent of research universities
in the nation, UTSA holds a Tier 1 status from the Carnegie
Classification of Institutions of Higher Education; faculty
researchers from the university have secured more than 390 research
awards totaling over $100 million; in addition to expanding
discovery activities, those awards have furthered collaboration
between faculty researchers and partners across the nation and
provided students with exceptional learning opportunities;
moreover, the university has partnered with UT Health San Antonio
to advance biomedical research through the San Antonio Life
Sciences Institute; and
WHEREAS, UTSA also received three National Centers of
Academic Excellence in Cybersecurity recognitions from the
National Security Agency; boasting one of the largest
government-university-industry cybersecurity ecosystems in the
nation, UTSA is home to the National Security Collaboration Center,
the Cybersecurity Manufacturing Innovation Institute, and the
School of Data Science, the first of its kind in Texas; and
WHEREAS, An engine of social and economic prosperity, UTSA
has graduated nearly 35,000 students in the last five years; the
school continues to increase its enrollment, and its predicted
growth will serve to prepare even more Texans for the workforce; and
WHEREAS, Since its founding, The University of Texas at San
Antonio has provided its students with a strong foundation for
achievement, and in so doing, it has played a significant role in
enhancing the quality of life in the Lone Star State; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
Legislature hereby recognize February 22, 2023, as UTSA Day at the
State Capitol and extend to all those associated with the
institution sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it
further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for The University of Texas at San Antonio as an expression
of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
