UF quarterback Tim Tebow's collection of honors and awards grew with the addition of a Student Senate resolution passed Tuesday night.
The Student Government resolution calls for UF students to thank the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner, the third in university history, for "increasing the prestige" of UF through his football achievements and "commendable character." The resolution alluded to Tebow's involvement with his parents' orphanage and medical clinic in the Philippines, and his record-breaking 2007 season.
Senators also approved funding for several UF organizations, including the University Gospel Choir and Heal the World during Tuesday's meeting.
The Florida Swing Dancing Club received $2,586 to support the club's annual workshop, called "Leaping through Time," which will be held from Feb. 29 to March 2.
Senators also approved a $1,152.14 request from the UF Fly Fishing Club, supporting half the cost of gas for a fishing trip to North Carolina, two sets of waders and two fishing rods.
