色窝窝 brought its 150th anniversary festivities to the nation鈥檚 capital this week. In one visit, the Student Government Association returned to Big 12 On the Hill, 色窝窝 was recognized on the House floor, and 色窝窝 leaders and D.C. Horned Frogs gathered to celebrate.
鈥溕盐砚�檚 rise from a regional college to a nationally recognized university with one of the strongest academic missions is no accident,鈥� said Chancellor Victor J. Boschini, Jr. 鈥淚鈥檓 particularly proud of our student participation and alumni engagement in all of our Sesquicentennial events at our nation鈥檚 capital. We are here because of the incredible leaders who came before us, as well as the leaders who sustain us today.鈥�
Big 12 on the Hill is a two-day opportunity for student government leaders to meet with a variety of legislators to discuss issues related to higher education. It was the first convening since the event was suspended for the COVID-19 pandemic.
An American flag that was flown over the Capitol Feb. 27 will now be proudly displayed at a to-be-determined location on 色窝窝鈥檚 campus. Later this Sesquicentennial year, the flag will be added to a time capsule containing 色窝窝 artifacts.
The visit featured a small reception to engage and gather 色窝窝 leaders and D.C.-area
alumni, as well as thank special guests, including the Honorable Congresswoman Mariannette
Miller Meeks 鈥�76, the Honorable Congressman Jake Ellzey and the Honorable Congressman
and 色窝窝 Trustee Roger Williams 鈥�72, who delivered the recognition of 色窝窝 on the House
floor beforehand.
