[Introduced March 28, 2005.]
Recognizing the importance of the Health Sciences and Technology
Academy (HSTA) and its significant contributions to African
American and under represented high school students in West
Virginia.
Whereas, HSTA strongly strives to increase the number of
African American and under represented high school students in West
Virginia to pursue post-secondary education in the health sciences and to increase the number of health practitioners in the medically
under served communities of West Virginia; and
Whereas, The goal of HSTA is to nurture the ambitions of
talented students who, for economic or other reasons, might not
ordinarily achieve their career goals; and
Whereas, The program brings minority and disadvantaged students
and their teachers to campus each summer for clinic, laboratory,
and classroom training and enrichment activities, then provides the
infrastructure and support for community-based science projects
mentored by teachers, health professions' students and volunteer
community leaders during the school year; and
Whereas,
The ultimate goal of HSTA is to increase the college
going rate among under represented students in the Appalachian
region, to improve science and math education, to empower
communities through leadership development of their youth, and,
ultimately, to increase the number of health care providers in West
Virginia's currently under served rural communities; therefore, be
it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the West Virginia Legislature recognizes and supports the
continued success and development of the Health Sciences and
Technology Academy (HSTA) and its importance to the State of West
Virginia; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk is hereby directed to forward
a copy of this resolution to the Director and other members of the
Health Sciences and Technology Academy.
