President’s Message
 
  As I prepare to serve as President of the Black Faculty & Staff Caucus, I am very excited about the many events and programs we have planned for the year. This is a particulary interestng year for the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, for it is one in which we welcome our new University President, Dr. E. Joseph Savoie. I look forward to working with the members of the UL Lafayette Black Faculty & Staff Caucus and Dr. Savoie.
 
  The Caucus had its humble beginnings in 1983 as a small group of Black faculty and staff interested in providing support to Black employees and students on campus. Since that time, the Caucus has observed trememdous growth in membership and campus involvement and exposure. Every Spring semester we host an annual Black Student Achievement Awards Reception honoring Black undergraduate and graduate students excelling academically at the institution. The 2008 reception attracted approximately 500 students, family members, friends and University officials. We are organizing Research Colloquiums for the Fall and Spring semesters. In September, we will host a Welcome Reception for all newly hired Black faculty and staff. During the month of December, we will host an Awards Banquet recognizing Black faculty and staff who are achieving excellence in research, teaching, and service.
 
  The many activities planned is evidence of our committment to excellence and our desire to be very active and visible on the campus of UL Lafayette and the surrounding community. We invite you to visit our site often to keep abreast of upcoming programs and events.
 
  Dr. Linda Badon
  President, BFSC
