| WHEREAS, Collin College has been presented with a | ||
| 2020-2021 Innovation of the Year Award by the League for | ||
| Innovation in the Community College; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The award was given to Collin College to recognize | ||
| its creation of a new health care benefit plan called CougarCare | ||
| that offers telehealth and mental health coverage at no cost to | ||
| students, adjunct faculty, and part-time staff; the COVID-19 | ||
| pandemic, which has imposed significant stress on students, | ||
| provided the impetus for the development of the program, and | ||
| Collin College's Board of Trustees approved an investment of up | ||
| to $750,000 for it in July 2020; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Through the CougarCare plan, eligible individuals | ||
| can receive free on-demand virtual-visit medical care and mental | ||
| health counseling from licensed physicians and counselors | ||
| anywhere in the United States, with services available 24 hours a | ||
| day, 7 days a week; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Collin College's investment in the CougarCare | ||
| program is a testament to the institution's deep commitment to | ||
| the success, morale, and overall well-being of its students, | ||
| faculty, and staff, and this commendable endeavor is most | ||
| deserving of special recognition; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th | ||
| Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate Collin | ||
| College on its receipt of a 2020-2021 Innovation of the Year | ||
| Award from the League for Innovation in the Community College and | ||
| extend to its administrators, faculty, staff, and students | ||
| sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be | ||
| prepared for Collin College as an expression of high regard from | ||
| the Texas Senate. | ||
