A Senate resolution is the Senate speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the Senate agrees to it, it is officially the Senate's word; it is not a law, so the House and the President have no part in it.
What this bill would do
This resolution commends and congratulates the Trinity College men's basketball team for winning the 2025 NCAA Division III Men's Basketball National Championship. The team defeated the New York University Violets with a score of 64 to 60. This win marks the first National Championship in the history of the Trinity College Bantams. The resolution also notes the team's 30-3 record and their second consecutive New England Small College Athletic Conference title. Finally, it recognizes Trinity College as a premier academic institution and requests that the Secretary of the Senate transmit a copy of the resolution to the college president and the head coach.
