Tennessee’s Highest Honor
On July 22nd, student Garry Thomas presented Madison Campus Director William Patrick Patterson with Tennessee's highest honor, a Senate Joint Resolution (SJR). To receive such an honor, a person must be nominated and unanimously approved by a committee. The nomination is then researched and sponsors from both the Senate and the House take it to the floor, and again, it must be unanimously approved.
After being researched, the sponsors, Senator Rusty Crowe and Representative Mathew Hill, took it to the floor. A copy of SJR 484 will remain forever in the Tennessee State Library for future generations along with commendations of such notable Tennesseans as Presidents James K. Polk and Andrew Jackson, Congressman David Crockett, and General Sam Houston. This honor is a public display of how the recipient truly made a difference in Tennessee. The Madison Campus is proud to have Patrick as part of their team.
