The resolution recognizes the 153rd anniversary of Glenville State University, highlighting its historical significance since its establishment in February 1872 as a branch of the West Virginia State Normal School. Originally created to address the educational needs of West Virginia by training teachers, the university has since broadened its mission to offer a diverse range of programs in fields such as business, criminal justice, health sciences, and the arts. The institution plays a crucial role in the educational and economic development of central West Virginia, providing various degree options at the associate, baccalaureate, and master's levels.

In addition to acknowledging the university's contributions to education, the resolution expresses gratitude for the dedication of its faculty and staff, who have consistently supported students through a personalized and career-oriented approach. It also recognizes the active involvement of students, employees, and alumni in their communities. The Senate resolves to formally commemorate this milestone and directs that a copy of the resolution be sent to the university's president, Dr. Mark A. Manchin.
