When one of us says, “I go to St. Margaret’s,” our eyes get a little brighter and our voices and faces lift. The person to whom we are speaking can tell that “going to St. Margaret’s” is something special, and that something special happens among the people there. We are a small congregation in Baton Rouge, Louisiana currently searching for our eighth Rector. Over the next few pages we summarize our history, current status and plans for the future. We hope you find these pages informative, and perhaps you too might discover some of the same specialness that we find at St. Margaret’s. A We are seeking a person of knowledge and faith, with life experience Our Current Ministry and Short-term Goals Include St. Margaret’s Story dates back to its founding in 1973, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. It is a story of a small group of people founding a church in a developing urban area. We invite you to read an overview of those early years on our website. Most of who we are today, however, has transpired in just the last several years. Like many churches, St. Margaret’s has enjoyed periods of growth and has suffered decline over the years, along with the ebb and flow of our local economy. Inadequacy of our physical plant and our growth during times of expansion, inhibited our ability to retain new members during times of decline.

I would like to take some time to share why you should consider this position in the next step of your career and why you should call LSU home. I have worked at LSU for 19 years, and I have never been more optimistic about our future than I am now. You may wonder how that is even possible in year 2021, so please allow me to elaborate. While all of higher education has experienced challenges during the pandemic, LSU’s response has been inspiring. Our success is due, in large part, to our strategic priorities: recruiting, retention, online learning, research, building a diverse, equitable and inclusive campus, and philanthropic support. The next dean of the College of Music & Dramatic Arts will have the opportunity to capitalize on that success and relentless determination to succeed. We are looking for a candidate who understands it requires collaboration and commitment to realize bold and ambitious goals. Our fall 2020 freshman class set new records for enrollment, academic achievement, and diversity, and we expect that trajectory to continue in to fall 2021. Our achievement would have been amazing in a normal year, but in 2020, it was remarkable.

    Summer 2020, Volume 96, Number 2 From the INTERIM PRESIDENT Showing Our Stripes, Roaring Forward In times of great crisis throughout history, our LSU family has always responded with great resiliency and resolve to serve our state and country and to support one another. Faced with a pandemic that has brought unprecedented disruption, Tigers across the nation are once again rising to meet the challenge of this historical moment by helping their neighbors and communities. The medical professionals heroically treating patients on the frontline of the coronavirus fight include many LSU alumni. They are supported by our innovative LSU researchers, who have achieved breakthroughs in testing, PPE production, and clinical trials on treatment options and potential vaccines. Through these and countless other inspiring efforts by our LSU family to fight the pandemic, we have shown why great research universities like LSU exist. By leveraging our extensive expertise, innovation, research, assets, and facilities, our LSU family has helped flatten the curve and continues to play a vital role in our recovery. The dedication and determination displayed by our students, faculty, and staff – who quickly transitioned to remote learning and working during the spring semester and persevered with great success – has been equally inspiring. And though our celebration looked different this year, it was with great joy and pride that we recently honored the amazing accomplishments of our Class of 2020 graduates. We look forward to holding an in-person commencement ceremony for them on our flagship campus when it is safe to do so. “We will continue to As our new graduates enter the workforce, many of the career opportunities they were hoping to take advantage of have suddenly evaporated due to the persevere through this economic crisis created by the pandemic.
