En lenguaje claro
This resolution is a ceremonial statement from the Georgia Senate rather than a change to state law. It recognizes Reinhardt University, founded in 1883, for 142 years of educational work in Georgia. The resolution highlights the university's role training public school teachers and leaders in Cherokee County, its nursing program's 93 percent pass rate on the national nursing licensing exam, and its criminal justice offerings, including an online degree, a public administration degree in law enforcement leadership, and a Mandate Police Academy for working adults. The resolution also praises the university's contributions to Georgia's workforce in arts, sciences, business, and cybersecurity, its cultural offerings through two performance venues, and its preservation of local history through the Funk Heritage Museum and Bennett History Center. The Senate directs its Secretary to send a copy of the resolution to the university, but the text creates no new law, funding, or requirement.
