WHEREAS, Joe Livingston, a retired educator at Del Mar | ||
College in Corpus Christi, has been named professor emeritus by the | ||
college's board of regents; and | ||
WHEREAS, Emeritus status is conferred on select former | ||
faculty members and administrators in recognition of their | ||
significant contributions to the educational community; many of | ||
these distinguished individuals continue to serve the university | ||
during their retirement; and | ||
WHEREAS, Professor emeritus of occupational education, Joe | ||
Livingston joined the faculty of Del Mar College in 1966, and over | ||
the course of his exemplary 48-year tenure, he has served the school | ||
as a teacher, program coordinator, department chair, and | ||
administrator; from 1991 until his retirement, he directed the | ||
Department of Industrial Education and the Department of Technology | ||
Education, supervising 18 different programs; and | ||
WHEREAS, Mr. Livingston oversaw the conversion of the | ||
college's occupational health and safety, emergency medical | ||
services, and fire science classes from noncredit to credit | ||
certificate and degree programs, and he also led the development of | ||
programs in process technology, electroplating, airframe | ||
technology, and power plant technology, among others; he generously | ||
shared his technical expertise to help other colleges develop a | ||
technical training curriculum, and his efforts to establish a | ||
General Educational Development Program and a networked computer | ||
lab at the DMC West Campus greatly benefited the college's students | ||
and played a positive role in the region's economic expansion; and | ||
WHEREAS, Through his myriad endeavors in behalf of Del Mar | ||
College, Joe Livingston has contributed immeasurably to advancing | ||
the mission of that institution, and he is indeed deserving of this | ||
prestigious accolade; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate Joe Livingston on his designation | ||
as professor emeritus at Del Mar College and extend to him sincere | ||
best wishes for the future; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
