  • 2007 Annual Report
    Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium 2006-2007 Annual Report Our Mission “To increase society’s awareness of the environmental, economic and cultural value of Louisiana’s coastal and marine environments by conducting research and education programs directly relevant to Louisiana’s needs in marine science and coastal resources and serving as a facility for all Louisiana schools with inter- ests in marine research and education.” Message from the Director Two fiscal years at the helm. The first started with Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, their devastation and sub- sequent recovery. The second continued with hurricane recovery and a State of Louisiana budget left reeling from business and financial losses across the southern part of the state. Coastal natural resources, business and financial infrastructure, communities and individuals still bear the scars of these storms. Several of LUM- CON’s structural wounds still require mending. Recovery has been slow but is now showing visible improve- ments in the coastal zone and in the state’s finances. And, the need for thoughtful, balanced and effective coastal restoration, flood control, and social support remains a foremost concern for Louisiana. LUMCON continues to focus its education and research programs on valuable coastal resources, dissemination of accu- mulated knowledge of coastal processes, and improved social literacy of the environmental, economic and cultural value of Louisiana’s coastal and marine environments. The Woody J. DeFelice Marine Center in Co- codrie, the Fourchon field camp, the research vessels and boats, the laboratories and educational facilities, and the LUMCON staff remain critical components for reaching these goals. LUMCON has much to offer locally, nationally and globally for marine science and education.

The courses in this guide's matrix are typically referred to as "general education" or "core curriculum" courses. Students should note that this matrix is limited to those general education courses for which full credit ,would likely be granted by most other Louisiana colleges and universities.

This guide contains an introduction, a description of the current Board of Regents' general education requirements, listings of Louisiana's public higher education institutions, which includes Louisiana's public two-year and four-year colleges and universities, and the general education articulation matrix. The required general education coursework for baccalaureate degree program includes a total of 39 hours in English, mathematics, computer literacy, natural sciences, arts, humanities, and social sciences. Information is included on transfer contacts, financial aid office contacts, housing contacts (if available), 1999-2000 annual tuition rates, general guidelines for transfer students, and determination of degree credit and course equivalencies for transfer courses.(VWC) Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document.

Lafayette Convention & Visitors Commission www.lafayette.travel 337.232.3737 800.346.1958 E I've gotten hundreds of colorful PostIt® notes from Dr. Ray Authement since I began working at UL Lafayette in 1993. He attaches them to magazines he receives from other universities and forwards to me. I took the first few dozen for granted; they all looked alike. One day, I noticed a PostIt® note that was different. Instead of “FYI,” he had written something like, “Page 20. Article is well done.” Of course, I immediately flipped to that page and studied it. EDITOR’S NOT It took quite a few more “FYIs” and a couple more “See inside” messages to grasp what should have been obvious to me from the start: He apparently looks through all of the magazines before sending them along. I was amazed because of his already heavy workload. I’ve thought about those PostIt® notes a lot since Doc announced in late April that he plans to retire. It occurred to me that they reveal quite a bit about him and how he conducts busi- ness at the university.
