SR699: SR699 Sargento, Noelia; recognize

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It recognizes Noelia Sargento as the 2025 state winner of the Technical College System of Georgia's EAGLE award, which honors adult learners who have shown exceptional 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 adult education programs. It states she attends Georgia Northwestern Technical College. The Senate formally commends and congratulates her, and directs the Secretary of the Senate to provide her with a copy of the resolution.
