       Observing the 150th anniversary of Vanderbilt University.

Whereas Vanderbilt University was founded in 1873 to create opportunities, 
        promote community engagement, and inspire future generations of 
        scholars;
Whereas Vanderbilt University, forged in Tennessee spirit, has grown from a 
        regional university to one of the premier research institutions in the 
        United States;
Whereas Vanderbilt University has, since its inception, provided distinguished 
        educational opportunities to tens of thousands of undergraduate, 
        graduate, and professional students from across the United States and 
        around the world;
Whereas the partnerships Vanderbilt University developed with stakeholders 
        foster the fulfillment of human potential by supporting organizations 
        and working to bring the people and resources of Vanderbilt University 
        together in service of others;
Whereas the world-renowned researchers of Vanderbilt University are using 
        revolutionary innovation to address the most urgent and complex problems 
        of society;
Whereas, with over 154,000 active alumni and 6 Nobel Laureates, Vanderbilt 
        University graduates throughout the world lead in their respective 
        fields and continue to push the limits of scientific discovery;
Whereas Vanderbilt University student-athletes set new benchmarks for excellence 
        both on and off the field; and
Whereas Vanderbilt University is proud of, but not satisfied with, its 
        accomplishments of the past 150 years and aims to grow to become the 
        Great University of the 21st century: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) honors and congratulates Vanderbilt University on the 
        occasion of its 150th anniversary;
            (2) commends Vanderbilt University for its remarkable 
        history of seminal research and educating generations of 
        leaders, scientists, teachers, nurses, doctors, and engineers; 
        and
            (3) respectfully requests that the Secretary of the Senate 
        transmit an enrolled copy of this resolution to--
                    (A) the Chancellor of Vanderbilt University, Daniel 
                Diermeier; and
                    (B) the Chair of the Board of Trust, Bruce R. 
                Evans.
