Senate Resolution No. 32 recognizes February 4, 2025, as UTSA and UT Health San Antonio Day at the State Capitol, celebrating the merger of The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) and The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. This merger will create the third-largest public research university in Texas, with over 40,000 students and nearly 16,000 employees. The resolution highlights UTSA's status as an R1 institution with a strong focus on research in cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and biomedical fields, as well as UT Health's leadership in clinical medicine research across various specialties.

The resolution also emphasizes the collaborative efforts between the two institutions, including the establishment of the UT School of Public Health San Antonio and the San Antonio Life Sciences Institute, which aim to address health issues and expand the state's health sciences workforce. The combined entity is projected to have a significant economic impact on Texas, estimated at over $6 billion, and is expected to enhance educational opportunities and research capabilities, ultimately benefiting the local community and beyond.
