The Senate Resolution, introduced by Senator Simon, commends Tallahassee State College for its unwavering commitment to student success and excellence in education, designating February 12, 2026, as Tallahassee State College Day. Established in 1966, the college has evolved from Tallahassee Junior College to Tallahassee Community College, and now to its current name, while consistently providing high-quality educational opportunities to residents of Leon, Gadsden, and Wakulla Counties. With over 17,000 students enrolled in 2025, the college is recognized as a leading transfer institution to Florida State University and Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University, and has been ranked as the No. 1 Best Value College in Florida and No. 2 in the United States.

The resolution highlights the college's significant contributions to the community, including its role as an economic engine generating approximately $296.5 million annually and supporting local employment. Additionally, it celebrates the college's achievements in various programs, such as its dental programs, which are marking their 50th anniversary, and its recognition as the 2025 Entrepreneurial College of the Year. The resolution concludes with a directive to present a copy to Dr. Jim Murdaugh, the college's president, as a token of appreciation from the Florida Senate.
