CELEBRATING 75 YEARS OF SERVICE
Your Weekly Message from the President
Dear Southernites and Friends:
 
Last Saturday, the city of Baton Rouge elected a new mayor, Sharon Weston Broome.  Mayor-elect Broome has already appointed several Southern alums to her transition team, and I'm excited about the future of our city.  Southern continues to play a significant role in the success of the Capital City.  As you know, Southern is expanding its footprint in the Baton Rouge area, and it is comforting to know that Southern's growth will be welcomed by the leadership of this city.  Indeed, this week I had the pleasure of speaking to the Board of Commissioners of the Downtown Development District about the expansion of our Baton Rouge campus to downtown Baton Rouge.  The DDD is excited about Southern's new downtown presence, and I am thrilled that the Alumni Federation has been able to lead such a positive initiative for our alma mater.
