its creation of a new health care benefit plan called CougarCare |

that offers telehealth and mental health coverage at no cost to |
 
|
students, adjunct faculty, and part-time staff; the COVID-19 |

pandemic, which has imposed significant stress on students, |

to $750,000 for it in July 2020; and |
 
|
             WHEREAS, Through the CougarCare plan, eligible individuals |

can receive free on-demand virtual-visit medical care and mental |
 
|
health counseling from licensed physicians and counselors |

anywhere in the United States, with services available 24 hours a |
 
|
day, 7 days a week; and |
 
|
             WHEREAS, Collin College's investment in the CougarCare |
 
|
program is a testament to the institution's deep commitment to |
 
|
the success, morale, and overall well-being of its students, |
 
|
faculty, and staff, and this commendable endeavor is most |
 
|
deserving of special recognition; now, therefore, be it |
 
|
             RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th |
 
|
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate Collin |
 
|
College on its receipt of a 2020-2021 Innovation of the Year |

extend to its administrators, faculty, staff, and students |
 
|
sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further |
 
|
             RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be |
 
|
prepared for Collin College as an expression of high regard from |
 
|
