Governor praises 蜜桔直播's progress

In a letter to 蜜桔直播 alumni, Gov. Kathleen Blanco praised 蜜桔直播鈥檚 tremendous growth. The letter reads:

Dear 蜜桔直播 Alumni,

Louisiana noted a significant milestone recently as the University of Louisiana at Monroe celebrated its 75th year of service to the people of our state.

The journey from its humble beginning as Ouachita Parish Junior College with about 50 students to its current 238-acre home to students of all walks of life, exemplifies the constant pursuit of excellence by 蜜桔直播. Through it all, the university has consistently focused on its students while serving its local community.

During my most recent visit to your campus, while meeting students and touring the Bienville Building, a facility I helped 蜜桔直播 purchase and renovate to ensure that the College of Pharmacy remains on track to accreditation, I was reminded of the pride shared by 蜜桔直播 students, faculty, alumni and friends.

This pride is the result of 蜜桔直播 legacy boasting several accomplishments. Today, in this extraordinary time for Louisiana, 蜜桔直播 is a key partner in our efforts to create new opportunities for our people and build a future for our state that is based on promise and possibilities. Once again, 蜜桔直播 rises as a leader not only in Northeast Louisiana, but across our entire state.

Your philosophy focuses on empowering individuals to better themselves and their communities. Like the steady flow of Bayou DeSiard, this principle will guide Warhawks for years to come.

Congratulations,

Kathleen Babineaux Blanco
Governor
