SUAF President's Message

President Castille and Governor-elect John Bel Edwards

 

President Castille with SU Board of Supervisors' Lab School Expansion Committee
Dear Southernites:
Congratulations to Governor-Elect John Bel Edwards and his wife, Donna, on winning the Louisiana gubernatorial election on November 21, 2015! Mr. Edwards is a Louisiana State Representative, who served on the House Education Committee. He has been a friend of Southern University and supported the legislation the Alumni Federation advocated for during the 2015 Louisiana Legislative Session. We greatly appreciate his support of Southern and all of higher education during his service in the Louisiana Legislature, and look forward to an even stronger relationship during his tenure as governor.
I have so much to be thankful for this week. One of the biggest initiatives in the history of Southern University also received some great news. As you know, the university has been working most of the year to expand its elementary and secondary education program to its Shreveport and New Orleans campuses. The success of Southern Lab on our Baton Rouge campus received the attention of the SU Board at the beginning of the year. Indeed, the Board of Supervisors' Lab School Expansion Committee has been working hard to make this expansion a reality. I am pleased to report to you that the Louisiana Superintendent of Education, John White, informed us several days ago that he would support and recommend Southern's application that is being considered by the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education next week. The fact that Louisiana has elected a new governor who is a true friend of Southern, and to learn that Superintendent John White supports this important Southern University initiative, are two big reasons to be thankful.
