SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 82
|
 
|
             WHEREAS, Dr.  Pamela Anglin is concluding her exemplary |
 
|
20-year tenure as president of Paris Junior College at the end of |
 
|
2023; and |
 
|
             WHEREAS, The first female president of the college, Pam |
 
|
Anglin was appointed in 2003, when PJC had but a two-month |
 
|
operating reserve; while guiding the institution to financial |
 
|
stability, she has overseen its development as a national leader |
 
|
in an important transition by community colleges, away from |
 
|
open-door access and towards promotion of degree and certificate |
 
|
attainment; her efforts led to the school's selection for several |
 
|
national programs, including the Pathways Project, Achieving the |
 
|
Dream, and a student-success initiative of the Institute for |
 
|
Evidence-Based Change; PJC was named an Achieving the Dream |
 
|
Leader College, and it received the 2012 Excellence in Education |
 
|
Award from the Texas Association of Business; moreover, it has |
 
|
been twice recognized as one of the country's 50 fastest-growing |
 
|
community colleges; and |
 
|
             WHEREAS, Dr.  Anglin has been a strong advocate for |
 
|
outcomes-based funding at the state level, and she helped form |
 
|
the Texas Community Colleges Consortium for Shared Resources to |
 
|
pursue cost savings in new enterprise resource planning software |
 
|
and annual allocations from the state legislature; among |
 
|
numerous leadership roles, she chaired the Northeast Texas |
 
|
Consortium of Colleges and Universities and served two terms each |
 
|
on the boards of the American Association of Community Colleges |
 
|
and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission |
 
|
on Colleges; she has further benefited her fellow citizens as a |
 
|
member of the Northeast Texas Workforce Board; the recipient of |
 
|
the Teamwork Award 2014 from Workforce Solutions Northeast |
 
|
Texas, she has been inducted into the Phi Theta Kappa CEO Hall of |
 
|
Honor and the PTK Texas Region Hall of Honor, and her many |
 
|
accolades include the organization's Shirley B. Gordon Award of |
 
|
Distinction; and |
 
|
             WHEREAS, Through her outstanding accomplishments, Pam |
 
|
Anglin has advanced the vital mission of Paris Junior College and |
 
|
made a positive impact at the state and national level, and she |
 
|
may indeed reflect with pride on her many contributions; now, |
 
|
therefore, be it |
 
|
             RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th |
 
|
Legislature, 4th Called Session, hereby honor Dr.  Pamela Anglin |
 
|
for her service as president of Paris Junior College and extend to |
 
|
her sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further |

|
