government; and
WHEREAS, The School of Economic, Political and Policy
Sciences at UTD offers outstanding programs in such challenging

making, and civic responsibility among students in the school's
Collegium V Honors Program and the McDermott Scholars Program
through the Center for the Study of Texas Politics; and
WHEREAS, The accomplished young men and women who are
currently studying Texas politics and leadership in these programs
have demonstrated the impressive drive and commitment that will
continue to serve them well beyond their days at UTD, and it is

of the Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
Legislature hereby commend The University of Texas at Dallas for
