|---|
| 5 | 6 | | WHEREAS, The Academic Bridge Program at The University of |
|---|
| 6 | 7 | | Texas at Dallas has benefited hundreds of students over the past 15 |
|---|
| 7 | 8 | | years; and |
|---|
| 8 | 9 | | WHEREAS, A summer scholarship initiative, ABP was |
|---|
| 9 | 10 | | established in 2000 by Dr. George Fair, dean of the School of |
|---|
| 10 | 11 | | Interdisciplinary Studies, to attract, support, and retain |
|---|
| 11 | 12 | | promising graduates of Dallas-area urban high schools who had not |
|---|
| 12 | 13 | | completed the full university-track curriculum; the program |
|---|
| 13 | 14 | | assists select incoming freshmen with the transition from high |
|---|
| 14 | 15 | | school through advising, mentoring, and tutoring; it annually |
|---|
| 15 | 16 | | enrolls about 160 young men and women, most of whom are |
|---|
| 16 | 17 | | first-generation college students; and |
|---|
| 17 | 18 | | WHEREAS, Participants in ABP also gain experience in the |
|---|
| 18 | 19 | | social aspects of college life by engaging in cultural awareness |
|---|
| 19 | 20 | | activities and community service projects; over the years, many of |
|---|
| 20 | 21 | | the program's alumni have gone on to become campus leaders and have |
|---|
| 21 | 22 | | volunteered at their old high schools to recruit prospective ABP |
|---|
| 22 | 23 | | students; and |
|---|
| 23 | 24 | | WHEREAS, The program has achieved impressive results; |
|---|
| 24 | 25 | | approximately 90 percent of ABP students return to the university |
|---|
| 25 | 26 | | as sophomores, and the 70 percent graduation rate of its |
|---|
| 26 | 27 | | participants is significantly higher than state and national |
|---|
| 27 | 28 | | averages; moreover, some 30 percent of ABP alumni are enrolled in |
|---|
| 28 | 29 | | graduate school, and 20 percent have already completed advanced |
|---|
| 29 | 30 | | degrees; and |
|---|
| 30 | 31 | | WHEREAS, Since its inception, the Academic Bridge Program has |
|---|
| 31 | 32 | | helped young Texans build a strong foundation for success in higher |
|---|
| 32 | 33 | | education, and in so doing, it has played an important role in |
|---|
| 33 | 34 | | preparing them for the many challenges and opportunities that lie |
|---|
| 34 | 35 | | ahead; now, therefore, be it |
|---|
| 35 | 36 | | RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|---|
| 36 | 37 | | Legislature hereby honor the Academic Bridge Program at The |
|---|
| 37 | 38 | | University of Texas at Dallas for its contributions and extend to |
|---|
| 38 | 39 | | all those associated with the program sincere best wishes for the |
|---|
| 39 | 40 | | future. |
