| End-of-Life Care |
 Beth Harris, a nursing instructor at UL Lafayette, weighed in on the challenges of caring for dying prisoners in this month's ONS Connect, the official news magazine of the Oncology Nursing Society. She has taught a palliative care course in the College of Nursing and Allied Health Professions for the past five years. "I feel the moral responsibility to provide end-of-life care access to all patients, even those imprisoned," she said. For several years, Harris has taken nursing students to visit the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola, which has one of the best prison hospice programs in the nation.

Jerry Luke LeBlanc, vice president for Finance and Administration, told the Baton Rouge Advocate that the university is planning to provide more housing options by building new facilities and upgrading some older dormitories.

New Name
|
| UL Lafayette students don't have to look far if they ever need help. The Student Life and Conduct Department is just a visit (no appointment necessary) or a phone call away.
It was formerly known as Student Personnel. Dean Greg Zeringue said the department has an open-door policy, even after regular business hours."There's a dean on call 24 hours a day, every day of the year. We mean it when we say we will help students any time," he said. |
