House Resolution No. by Representative Geymann designates April 23, 2025, as McNeese State University Day at the state capitol, recognizing the university's recent successes and contributions to Louisiana. The resolution highlights McNeese's efforts to address a decade-long decline in enrollment through a comprehensive rightsizing initiative, which has led to promising results, including a three percent increase in fall 2024 enrollment and a notable rise in spring 2025 enrollment. The university's strategic planning has also resulted in increased interest from prospective students, as evidenced by significant attendance at recruitment events and a surge in applications for the upcoming academic year.

Additionally, the resolution commends McNeese students for their academic achievements, including presenting original research at national conferences and competing in prestigious theater festivals. The men's basketball team, under Coach Will Wade, garnered national attention for their performance in the 2025 NCAA tournament, further showcasing the university's talent. The House of Representatives acknowledges the positive impact McNeese has on its students and the surrounding communities, celebrating the university's bright future and the spirit of unity embodied in its rallying cry, "Ride for the Brand." A copy of the resolution will be sent to the President of McNeese State University as a token of appreciation.
