"We look forward to highlighting the contributions and impact the SU System has on the State of Louisiana and on the nation in terms of return on investment and in the way of improving lives. We also want to use the opportunity to thank legislators for their past support, and encourage their continued backing of higher education," said SU System President-Chancellor Ray L. Belton.
