WHEREAS, Members of The University of Texas of the Permian
Basin Honors Program and Student Senate are visiting the State
Capitol on January 31, 2013, to gain further insight into the
workings of state government; and
WHEREAS, Begun in the fall of 2006, the UTPB Honors Program
includes a three-course sequence in which students learn about
ideas, authors, and trends that have been especially influential in
shaping the world of the 21st century; participants must meet high
academic standards, and they represent some of the university's top
achievers; alumni of the program have gone on to careers in a
variety of fields, with most pursuing graduate degrees in medicine;
and
WHEREAS, The UTPB Student Senate represents the diverse needs
and concerns of the university population and advocates for
students' academic, intellectual, occupational, physical, and
social well-being; a number of senate members are currently
participating in the John Ben Shepperd Public Leadership
Institute's 28th Annual Texas Leadership Forum; and
WHEREAS, Committed to learning about leadership, ethics, and
public service, the accomplished men and women in these two
programs have demonstrated the impressive talent and drive that
will continue to serve them well beyond their days at UTPB, and it
is indeed a pleasure to join in honoring these future leaders of the
Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature hereby welcome members of The University of Texas of
the Permian Basin Honors Program and Student Senate to the State
Capitol and congratulate them on their outstanding academic and
civic endeavors.
