| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| recognize the members of the Texas State Technical College | ||
| delegation, who are visiting Austin on May 4, 2017, to celebrate | ||
| Texas State Technical College Day at the State Capitol; and | ||
| WHEREAS, For more than 50 years, Texas State Technical | ||
| College has served as the state's premier two-year institution | ||
| for technical education by providing highly specialized training | ||
| in advanced and emerging technology fields; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The college has long been viewed as an innovator | ||
| in higher education, and today, students can choose from among 91 | ||
| associate degree programs, 91 certificate options, and 67 | ||
| program areas that lead to rewarding careers in a broad range of | ||
| technical fields; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Texas State Technical College was the first | ||
| institution of higher education in Texas to be funded based | ||
| entirely upon results; the school is paid by the state | ||
| legislature only after students have entered the workforce and | ||
| have earned salaries for five years; this unique approach to | ||
| educational administration has enabled the college to increase | ||
| efficiency and open three new campuses over the last four years; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Texas State Technical College experienced record | ||
| increases in enrollment in the fall semester of 2016; the | ||
| institution continues to focus on student achievement while | ||
| maximizing state investment, and it serves as a national model | ||
| for technical training in higher education settings; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th | ||
| Legislature, hereby commend the administrators and leaders of | ||
| Texas State Technical College for their many exceptional | ||
| achievements and extend to the teachers, staff, and students | ||
| sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
| the college as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. | ||
