Submitted in the Senate, considered, and agreed to without amendment and with a preamble by Unanimous Consent. (consideration: CR S2831; text: CR S2842)
This Senate resolution formally congratulates Southeastern Louisiana University on its 100th anniversary, recognizing the institution's century of service since its founding as Hammond Junior College in 1925. The resolution honors the university's evolution from a small junior college with 40 students and 5 faculty members to a major state university now serving over 15,000 students across five colleges and schools. It acknowledges the university's academic achievements in fields like education, business, nursing, and the sciences, as well as its athletic programs and the contributions of its alumni to Louisiana's economy and culture. The resolution was introduced by Louisiana Senators Kennedy and Cassidy and passed by the Senate with no funding requirements, as it is purely ceremonial in nature. An official copy of the resolution will be sent to the university's president and other key administrators as a formal recognition of this milestone.
