| WHEREAS, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso | ||
| celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Gayle Greve Hunt School of | ||
| Nursing in 2021, providing a fitting opportunity to recognize the | ||
| school's myriad contributions; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Funded by a $10 million grant from the Hunt Family | ||
| Foundation, the Hunt School of Nursing opened its doors in | ||
| September 2011 with the goal of addressing critical nursing | ||
| shortages in the area; in the years since, more than 1,200 students | ||
| have graduated from the school, the vast majority of whom have | ||
| stayed in the region; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Today, the school offers three degree programs: an | ||
| accelerated 16-month bachelor's degree in nursing, an RN to BSN | ||
| program, and a master's degree in nursing leadership; partnering | ||
| with local hospitals, the school also provides vital opportunities | ||
| for clinical rotations and postgraduation job placements; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Since its inception, the Hunt School of Nursing has | ||
| helped to equip its students with the knowledge and skills | ||
| necessary to meet the health care needs of their fellow citizens, | ||
| and in so doing, it has made an invaluable contribution to higher | ||
| education and to the El Paso community; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the 88th Texas Legislature | ||
| hereby commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Gayle Greve Hunt | ||
| School of Nursing at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center | ||
| El Paso and extend to the school's students, faculty, and staff, | ||
| past and present, sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it | ||
| further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for the Hunt School of Nursing as an expression of high | ||
| regard by the Texas Senate. | ||
