HR 620 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Congratulating Rice University's Wiess School of Natural Sciences on its 50th anniversary.

This is a symbolic resolution (not a law) congratulating Rice University's Wiess School of Natural Sciences on its 50th anniversary in 2025. It recognizes the school's founding in 1975, its naming after major donors Harry and Olga Wiess, its academic programs (including 19 majors and a professional science master's), and notable achievements like Nobel Prize-winning research. The resolution expresses the Texas House of Representatives' "high regard" for the school's contributions to science and education. It has no policy impact or cost, serving solely as a ceremonial acknowledgment.
