He described Authement as "an admirable man with a very distinguished service to the university."

|
Before actual snow fell on Acadiana last week, UL Lafayette students enjoyed the university's first Sneaux Day. Students, faculty, staff and their families enjoyed an evening of winter activities that included photos with a Ragin’ Cajun Santa at the president's house and ice skating on a portable rink in the Student Union Ballroom thanks to the Student Government Association and the Univeristy Program Council. Holiday music was provided by KRVS and Robert Harris read the Cajun Night Before Christmas.

| Levee Monitors |
If a levee along the Mississippi River shows signs of stress, the National Incident Management Systems and Advanced Technologies Institute at UL Lafayette will know it.
The NIMSAT Institute will be the nerve center for the Intelligent Flood Protection Monitoring, Warning and Response System for the state. The Institute will monitor the vital signs of the state's levee flood control system. The work is part of a program for the state's Department of Natural Resources' Office of Coastal Protection and Restoration. |
