Welcome from Edward A. Pratt,
Vice President for Student Affairs

Dear Students,

As Vice President for Student Affairs, I sincerely welcome you to the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.  We are committed to fostering an environment of learning, healthy lifestyles, leadership and community development, personal growth and inclusiveness.  We in Student Affairs are proud to offer you many programs, services, opportunities, and activities to broaden your University experience and to compliment your academic activities.

The Student Affairs website (http://www.louisiana.edu/Student) and the Student Handbook both connect you to the people, programs and facilities of Student Affairs.  I encourage all students to take advantage of these resources and take some time to look through each department in order to get a better idea of what UL Lafayette and Student Affairs has to offer.

Because much of student learning takes place outside the classroom, Student Affairs works diligently to create and maintain an environment that promotes leadership development, academic achievement and responsible and engaged citizenry by providing opportunities of participation in physical recreation, student organizations (including academic, honor and religious affiliations), student publications, Greek life and residential communities.

One of the main missions of post-secondary education is providing exposure to new and diverse ideas and to provide a well-rounded education.  Because we want you to cherish your time and not regret a minute, I encourage you to take full advantage of your educational opportunities to meet new people and explore new interests while pursuing your academic goals.  I challenge you to connect with and become engaged in Your University community.

Again, I want to welcome you to the University.  With hard work and dedication you will have warm and fond memories of time spent at the University.

Sincerely

Edward A. Pratt
Vice President for Student Affairs
