||
WHEREAS, Maria Rodriguez, an outstanding student at Texas A&M | ||
University--Corpus Christi, has deservedly been named a 2015 USDA | ||
graduate fellow; and | ||
WHEREAS, USDA graduate fellows are pursuing master's degrees | ||
in agriculture, biology, or sustainable food systems; Ms. Lopez was | ||
one of only 20 honorees from across the nation chosen to attend a | ||
Career Preparation Institute in March that was held in conjunction | ||
with the National Conference of the American Association of | ||
Hispanics in Higher Education; and | ||
WHEREAS, While pursuing her bachelor's degree in ecology at | ||
TAMU--CC, Ms. Rodriguez learned essential field and lab techniques | ||
through her involvement in a project funded by the Louis Stokes | ||
Alliances for Minority Participation; in 2014, she received a | ||
fellowship from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric | ||
Administration Environmental Cooperative Science Center and | ||
subsequently enrolled in the university's environmental science | ||
graduate program; there, her research has focused on dermo, an | ||
oyster disease caused by a protozoan parasite, and on understanding | ||
the ecological impact of reduced freshwater inflow to bays and | ||
estuaries due to climate change; and | ||
WHEREAS, This talented individual has distinguished herself | ||
through her hard work and dedication, and her ongoing commitment to | ||
excellence truly heralds a future bright with promise; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate Maria Rodriguez on her selection as | ||
a 2015 USDA graduate fellow and extend to her sincere best wishes | ||
for continued success in all her endeavors; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
