SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 893
WHEREAS, The University of Houston has provided the Texas
Legislature with an impressive group of Fellows from its Hobby
School of Public Affairs during the 85th Session; and
WHEREAS, The Hobby Fellowship program was launched in 2012
to give undergraduate students the opportunity to work as
full-time interns in the Texas Capitol; each Fellow is assigned
to the office of a state legislator and helps support its
operations by attending meetings and hearings, interacting with
constituents and other stakeholders, and carrying out a range of
other functions; in addition to gaining valuable experience in
the field of public service, they learn more about the
legislative process and the issues facing citizens of the Lone
Star State; and
WHEREAS, The dedicated students who have served as Hobby
Fellows during the 85th Legislature are Troy Allen, Jennifer
Edwards, J Ehlinger, Jon Garcia, Maycie George, Mariah Grayson,
Emily Joslin, Jason LaBarbera, Rish Oberoi, and Giovanni Perez; and
WHEREAS, Through their hard work and commitment to
excellence, the 2017 Hobby Fellows have rendered invaluable
service to their respective legislative offices, and they are
indeed deserving of special recognition for their efforts; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th
Legislature, hereby commend the Fellows from the University of
Houston Hobby School of Public Affairs for their outstanding
contributions to the Texas Legislature and extend to them sincere
best wishes for continued success in all their endeavors; and, be
it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
the 2017 Hobby Fellows as an expression of high regard from the
Texas Senate.
