From the desk of President Leslie K. Guice

Wrapping up the first (short) week

Jul 3, 2013 | Weekly Update

After 2 days of getting settled into the office, communicating with well wishers, working on budgets, strategic planning, and initiating the Athletics Director search, today brought some positive news from the press.  I was most surprised and grateful for the positive Shreveport Times editorial about my move into the presidency of Tech.  Special thanks to the Times editors for their recognition of Tech.  If you missed it, the link follows: http://www.shreveporttimes.com/article/20130703/OPINION/307030032/La-Tech-University-starting-new-era Today, I was also invited to meet with the Monroe News Star Editorial Board and share with them some of the great things that are happening at Tech as well as some perspectives on where we are headed.  Thank you David Petty, Kathy Spurlock, and Sarah Eddington for the hospitality and the opportunity.  If you missed it, the link to the video of the interview can be found at: http://www.livestream.com/thenewsstar/video?clipId=pla_1d98b696-5b0a-419a-ad06-9a69a75dec12
