A letter from UL Lafayette President Dr. Ramesh Kolluru on the closing of the Louisiana legislative session:

Dear campus community,

The regular session of the Louisiana Legislature adjourned on Monday, and I want to take a moment to express my gratitude for the confidence our state leaders have placed in the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and, most importantly, their investment into our students.

This session, legislators approved funding in the next fiscal year for University operations and student success initiatives while advancing significant investments in academic facilities and research infrastructure on our campus.

I am especially grateful to Governor Landry’s administration, the Acadiana Legislative Delegation and legislative leadership across the state whose advocacy and partnership helped make these investments in our students and into Louisiana’s future economy possible.

We have important work ahead, but the conclusion of a successful legislative session gives us an opportunity to recognize our allies, celebrate progress and remain focused on what matters most: student success.

Thank you for everything you do for this University and for our students.

Geaux Cajuns!

Dr. Ramesh Kolluru
President
