SPECIAL DAY/WEEK/MONTH: Recognizes March 31, 2026, as Southern University Day at the Capitol

It recognizes the system's five campuses and their contributions to education, research, and community service across Louisiana. The resolution commends specific achievements, including new facilities, academic milestones, and athletic accomplishments at each campus. This is a commemorative measure that does not change laws or allocate funding, but rather acknowledges the university system's impact.
