	SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 185
	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas takes pleasure in
	recognizing the University of Houston System and its satellite
	campuses as they celebrate February 13, 2013, as University of
	Houston System Day at the State Capitol; and
	WHEREAS, The University of Houston System service area
	encompasses one quarter of Texas' population and generates
	almost one third of the state gross product; the university
	system's economic impact exceeds $3.2 billion annually for the
	region; and
	WHEREAS, Serving some 66,000 students, the University of
	Houston System includes campuses in Clear Lake, Victoria, and
	downtown Houston and teaching centers in Sugar Land, Katy,
	northwest Houston, and Pearland; over the years, more than
	300,000 students have graduated from these prized institutions
	of higher learning; and
	WHEREAS, These campuses greatly benefit from the deep
	commitment shown by their faculty, staff, alumni, and
	administrative bodies; they are led with integrity and
	dedication by system chancellor and University of Houston
	president Renu Khator, University of Houston-Downtown president
	Bill Flores, Clear Lake campus president William Staples, and
	Victoria campus president Phil Castille; and
	WHEREAS, The University of Houston System is an enduring
	and invaluable force in the provision of quality higher education
	for Texans, and a majority of its graduates remain in this state
	and contribute devotedly to the economic and social vitality of
	Texas; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,
	83rd Legislature, hereby commend the University of Houston
	System on its dedication to excellence and extend best wishes to
	all of its delegates for an enjoyable and productive University
	of Houston System Day at the State Capitol; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in
	honor of this special day and as an expression of high regard from
	the Texas Senate.
