Dear Faculty, Staff and Students,
Our search for a Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette is complete, thanks to input from so many of you.
Our search process was thorough. It yielded two outstanding finalists, Dr. Paula Carson and Dr. James Henderson, from a pool of 72 candidates for this critical position.
Dear Faculty and Staff,
Now that everyone has settled into the fall semester, I’d like to share some news about the progress the University has made in a couple of crucial areas.
First, a search committee is narrowing down the list of finalists for the combined positions of provost and vice president of Academic Affairs. The person who serves in these roles helps oversee all educational affairs and activities, including faculty and research. So it’s a position that’s pivotal to the University’s continued success.
Dear Students,
Welcome! Whether you are a first-time freshman or a returning student, I hope the semester is off to an excellent start.
Dear Faculty and Staff,
I’d like to thank you for making this academic year a great one.
In recent days, I've attended several events with graduating seniors. In offering their parting thoughts, a common theme has persisted. Many soon-to-be grads mentioned professors by name who they noted as exceptional mentors. Several, especially those from other countries or states, explained how staff members made them feel welcome. Perhaps they haven't always told you that directly, but in sharing their sentiments, they were expressing gratitude for your dedication and service.
