	H.R. No. 94



	R E S O L U T I O N

	WHEREAS, Members of the university's student government
	association, faculty, and staff are gathering in Austin on February
	21, 2013, to celebrate Stephen F. Austin State University Day at the
	State Capitol and to commemorate the 89th anniversary of this
	historic institution of higher learning; and
	WHEREAS, Stephen F. Austin State University was established
	as a teacher's college in September 1923, and although it has
	greatly expanded its educational scope in the decades since, it
	continues to graduate exceptionally well-prepared classroom
	teachers, coaches, and administrators; it is also home to the
	Arthur Temple College of Forestry and Agriculture, the Richard and
	Lucille DeWitt School of Nursing, the Nelson Rusche College of
	Business, and the James I. Perkins College of Education; and
	WHEREAS, The university's enrollment is at an all-time high
	for the 2012-2013 academic year, and the student population
	reflects the general diversity of the Lone Star State;
	additionally, about half of all recent graduates are from the first
	generation in their families to attend college; and
	WHEREAS, The university continues to serve the population of
	East Texas, while also drawing large numbers of students from both
	the greater Houston metropolitan area and the Dallas-Fort Worth
	Metroplex; moreover, the campus is a center for cultural,
	educational, and recreational activities for the residents of the
	Nacogdoches area, with the 136-acre Stephen F. Austin State
	University Gardens being one of the highlights enjoyed by visitors;
	and
	WHEREAS, For nearly nine decades, members of the Stephen F.
	Austin State University community have been making important
	contributions to Texas and the world beyond, and it is most fitting
	that they be honored on this special day; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize February 21, 2013, as Stephen F.
	Austin State University Day at the State Capitol and extend to the
	visiting delegation sincere best wishes for a memorable and
	meaningful visit to Austin.

	Clardy
