The Senate Resolution commends Grambling State University (GSU) on the occasion of its 125th anniversary, recognizing its significant contributions to higher education, leadership, and public service in Louisiana and beyond. Founded on November 1, 1901, as the Colored Industrial and Agricultural School, GSU was established through the efforts of the North Louisiana Colored Agriculture Relief Association, with support from Booker T. Washington and its first president, Charles P. Adams. The university has evolved over the years, officially becoming Grambling State University in 1974, while maintaining its commitment to academic excellence and community service.

The resolution highlights GSU's enduring legacy as a symbol of access and achievement, emphasizing its motto, "Where Everybody is Somebody," which reflects its dedication to human dignity and educational opportunity. The Senate expresses its best wishes to the university's students, faculty, staff, alumni, and supporters as they commemorate this historic milestone and continue to uphold the institution's proud legacy of excellence. A copy of the resolution will be transmitted to Grambling State University.
