Earlier cases have challenged the testing procedures 2 as, for example, in erythropoietin (EPO), 3 nandrolone, and homologous blood transfusions, 4 but none match the challenge in the Landis case, which went far beyond the testing methodology for the detection of testosterone.

Some are discovering faculty members’ many noteworthy accomplishments, from the arts to outstanding research, which includes work in addressing major health issues such as cancer and Alzheimer’s disease. Others continue to place a premium on mentoring our students. In addition, ULM researchers have again earned the distinction of having a U.S. patent awarded; read about it on page 3 of the magazine. Others are discovering our outstanding facilities and equipment. From the Natural History Museum to the new video scoreboard at Malone Stadium, ULM boasts some of the best accommodations for learning, cultural enrichment and entertainment in the region.

The in-house creation of ULM’s own mobile app, featured on page 3, and our other technology successes such as Flight Path – ULM’s degree auditing system – makes it even easier for prospective students to discover all the university has to offer.
