69´«Ã½

Dear faculty and staff members,

It’s my pleasure to announce that Dr. Jaimie Hebert will be provost and vice president for Academic Affairs at the University of Louisiana at 69´«Ã½.

Dear faculty and staff members,

Last year, a search committee worked diligently to identify candidates for the position of provost and vice president for Academic Affairs.

I’ve been reflecting on UL 69´«Ã½â€™s Women’s Leadership Conference, which I attended a couple of weeks ago. It was one of several events held during Women’s History Month.

Dear students, faculty and staff members,

During National Hazing Prevention Week in September, I shared with you that we were reviewing our policies and stepping up our efforts against hazing.

Dear students, faculty and staff members,

Dear students, faculty and staff members,

As National Hazing Prevention Week concludes, recent reports of hazing have heightened awareness of a need for renewed efforts to prevent, stop, and report hazing.

Welcome back!

As we embark on a new academic year, I am reminded of the importance of the work that we do – and of the challenges that confront us.

The University community commends Governor Edwards and members of the Acadiana Legislative Delegation for fashioning a budget solution during the recent special session that didn’t include yet another cut to higher education.

The University of Louisiana at 69´«Ã½ has historically benefited from the scientific, cultural and economic contributions of international students and scholars and values all students, faculty members and researchers, regardless of their country of origin.

Since the Nov. 8 elections, I’ve spoken with many members of our UL 69´«Ã½ community about the campus climate. I’ve talked to students, staff and faculty members. I’ve talked to representatives of many student organizations, races, and faiths.
