En lenguaje claro
This resolution is a ceremonial statement from the Georgia Senate rather than a change to state law. It designates March 4, 2025, as Oxford Day at the state capitol in honor of Oxford College, the two-year liberal arts campus of Emory University located in Oxford, Georgia. The resolution recounts the college's history since its 1836 founding as Emory College, its 1964 transition to Oxford College, and its economic and community impact, including more than $80 million contributed annually to the Newton County economy and over 13,000 volunteer hours logged by students each year. It directs the Secretary of the Senate to send a copy of the resolution to Oxford College.
