En lenguaje claro
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate rather than a change to state law. It recognizes Mercer University, founded in 1833 and based in Macon since 1871, for its history and contributions to education in Georgia. The resolution commends the university's administration, faculty, staff, trustees, students, and alumni, and it officially names February 20, 2025, as Mercer University Day at the state capitol. It also directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for Mercer University. The resolution does not create any new rules, funding, or legal requirements; it is a formal statement of recognition.
