Southeastern Louisiana University opened the 2023-24 academic year on Friday with its fall convocation that included new president William S. Wainwright’s vision of the university for the future.
Wainwright introduced his vision, which is based on the university’s core values of excellence and caring, in his address to faculty, staff and guests.
The four pillars of the vision that Wainwright introduced include enhancing the student experience; investing in faculty and staff; maximizing Southeastern’s competitive edge; and ensuring Southeastern significantly impacts the region’s educational, economic and cultural development. Wainwright called it an exciting time for Southeastern. He said positive developments are showcasing this university’s strength across campus, from athletic championships this past year, to the recently named Louisiana Poet Laureate, Alison Pelegrin, to the development of new academic programs like the online MBA that focuses on innovation and technology.
