LSUE

The Louisiana Community and Technical College System announced that LSU Eunice would receive $162,000 from its Workforce Training Rapid Response Fund. The funding is in response to a grant request submitted by LSUE earlier this year.
LSUE’s Nursing Program Initiative will receive the $162,000 to support new and upgraded equipment and supplies.

The fall-summer LSUE commencement with 157 graduates was the largest in its history.
The graduates on Saturday were given a farewell address from outgoing LSU President F. King Alexander, who announced recently he is leaving LSU to lead the University of Oregon.
As the LSU football team enters the race for a national championship, Alexander reminded the graduates of LSUE’s history of national championships in baseball and softball.
But Alexander focused on academics and asked the first generation graduates to stand.

After an undefeated season on the mound, LSU Eunice’s Dane Dixon has been named to the NJCAA Division II All-American first-team, the organization announced on Tuesday. Dixon is one of 36 student-athletes to be recognized by the NJCAA on the three-team All-American squad.
“Dane exemplifies everything you want in a student-athlete both on and off the field,” LSU Eunice head coach Jeff Willis said. “He has lived every one of our core values since the day he stepped on campus and has been rewarded with a tremendous season and great recognition.”
