Message from the Chancellor

Dear Student:

On behalf of the faculty and staff, I welcome you to LSUS and to the 2008-09 academic year.

Whether you are a new or returning student, it is important for you to know that our campus is a community of caring people. Our faculty and staff are dedicated to providing you with every opportunity for an excellent learning experience. This is evidenced, in part, by our low student-to-faculty ratio and by our commitment to your success.

While I encourage you to fully utilize our many academic resources, I also believe strongly in student involvement and leadership development. There are ample opportunities for you to participate in activities, student organizations, recreational sports and athletic events. Students also play a vital role in the governance of our university by serving as members of many university committees. Your involvement in these activities is an important part of your education and our university tradition.

Again, I welcome you to LSUS for this new academic year. Please become familiar with the contents of the 2008-09 Student Handbook, and call upon our faculty and staff as we may be of service to you.

Sincerely,

Vincent J. Marsala
Chancellor
