In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It recognizes Noelia Sargento as the 2025 state recipient of the Exceptional Adult Georgian in Literacy Education (EAGLE) award, a program run by the Technical College System of Georgia that honors adult learners who show outstanding achievement in adult education classes. The resolution notes that Sargento was chosen from among 25 EAGLE delegates statewide and will serve as an ambassador for adult education in Georgia, representing nearly 22,000 students in the state's adult education programs. It credits her achievement to Georgia Northwestern Technical College. The Senate resolves to commend and congratulate her, and directs the Secretary of the Senate to provide her with an official copy of the resolution.
