SR 97 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Recognizing February 18, 2025, as Prairie View A&M University Day.

SR 97 is a ceremonial Senate resolution designating February 18, 2025, as "Prairie View A&M University Day" at the Texas Capitol. It recognizes the university's historical significance as Texas' first state-supported college for African Americans (founded in 1876), its current role as a top public institution in fields like engineering and nursing, and its 46,000+ degrees awarded. The resolution formally commends the university's educators and staff through the Texas Senate. As a non-binding recognition measure, it does not create new laws or policies but honors the institution's legacy.
