Memorials, Recognition - Vice President Anna Beth Thompson, University of Tennessee's 105th year of SGA -

This joint resolution honors Vice President Anna Beth Thompson and the Student Government Association at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, on the occasion of the organization's 105th anniversary. The measure recognizes Thompson's election as vice president for the 2026-2027 academic year, noting that she and the current president are the first two women to hold these top offices in the group's history.
