  1. Supervises the Schools of Business, Education, Human Sciences, Humanities and Social Sciences, and Mathematics and Sciences
  2. Serves with the Deans of the University in the areas of faculty recruiting, retention, and development
  3. Oversees program development
  4. Serves alongside other senior administrators in advancing the priorities of all parts of the University

If you have a question about a course or a program, your first point of contact should be the Chair of the department that the course is in.

I truly love LSUS, and I can assure you that the university is home to world-class faculty and staff who are dedicated to teaching and mentoring the next generation of leaders in Northwest Louisiana and beyond. Your success is our success, and our mission. I wish you the very best in your academic endeavors and I look forward to seeing you around campus!
