HR 417 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A Resolution designating the month of November 2025 as "Indiana University of Pennsylvania Appreciation Month" in Pennsylvania.

HR 417 is a symbolic resolution designating November 2025 as "Indiana University of Pennsylvania Appreciation Month" to celebrate the university's 150th anniversary. It formally recognizes IUP's history - from its founding as Indiana Normal School in 1875 to its current role in Pennsylvania's higher education system - without creating any legal obligations or funding changes. The resolution honors IUP's contributions to the state but does not affect any policies, programs, or individuals beyond this commemorative gesture.
