Southeastern announces new computer science and technology building
Representatives of Southeastern and other officials gathered together Sept. 3 to announce
construction of a new $24.4 million computer science and technology facility.
The 70,000 square foot building will be built near the intersection of North
Oak and Dakota streets. The project will be paid by state Capital Outlay funds; no
university operating funds will be used in construction.
The project has been in the development stages since 2007, said President John
L. Crain.
“This facility is greatly overdue. Our computer science, engineering technology,
industrial technology, and occupational, safety, health and environment programs have
expanded significantly in recent years as more students are drawn to the employment
opportunities in Louisiana associated with these professions,” he said. “The faculty
and students have been operating with limited space. The new facility will greatly
enhance the classroom and specialized lab space needed to provide modern instructional
opportunities to our students.”
The new building will be built on the site of Southeastern Hall, which will be
taken down later this year. Total construction time is estimated at 17 months, making
the facility possibly ready for the fall 2017 semester.
The facility will house components of several programs, including computer science,
information technology, engineering technology, industrial technology, and occupational,
safety, health and environment programs.
“We are thrilled that we will now have a first-rate facility for these programs,”
said Dan McCarthy, dean of the College of Science and Technology. “We have first-rate
faculty and students already, so this facility will only help to strengthen our programs
even more. It is also gratifying that Southeastern is being recognized as a leader
for computing and technology programs in the state. This is a direct testament to
all the hard work and dedication of our faculty.”
Architect for the project is Holly and Smith of Hammond.
CONSTRUCTION TO BEGIN ON NEW SOUTHEASTERN BUILDING – Southeastern President John L. Crain recently announced the upcoming construction of a new science and technology building on the southeast corner of the campus. Participating in the announcement were, from left, Jeffrey Smith of the architectural firm Holly and Smith of Hammond; Southeastern Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Tammy Bourg; Mark Beckers, Holly and Smith; Vice President for University Advancement Wendy Lauderdale; Director of Facility Planning Ken Howe; Rep. Steve Pugh; City of Hammond Mayor Pete Panepinto; Crain; Dean of the College of Science and Technology Dan McCarthy; Vice President for Administration and Finance Sam Domiano; Interim Head of the Department of Computer Science and Technology Lu Yuan; Rep. Chris Broadwater; and Vice President for Student Affairs Marvin Yates.
Southeastern recognized by national group for student leadership, engagement, impact
on communities
Southeastern has been recognized with a Student Actions Award for the 2015 spring
semester by the organization Purposeful Networks.
Purposeful Networks honors undergraduate schools for demonstrated student leadership,
momentum and engagement in activities that positively impact communities and the planet.
Southeastern is the only public university in Louisiana among the 125 schools in the
nation being recognized for excellence this semester.
“It is truly an honor to be listed alongside other top universities for the actions
of our students,” said Southeastern President John L. Crain. “Service to others and
engagement with our communities are basic values we try to instill in all of our students.
The activities cultivate a sense of partnership among the students and help strengthen
their leadership and organizational skills, which are vital to success in the workplace.”
Crain noted that student organizations are heavily involved in fund-raising for
non-profit organizations and in community service events, such as “The Big Event”
held every year where hundreds of students gather on a specific day to carry out service
projects throughout the region.
For their efforts, Southeastern has earned a position on the President’s Higher
Education Honor Roll for Community Service for the past four years.
Additionally, the university is expanding student-engagement opportunities this
year by increasing the number of experiential-learning opportunities through its “Real-World
Ready” initiative. This plan involves merging classroom instruction with hands-on
activities to achieve a more intensive learning experience.
“The power of student leaders to build community and inspire action for causes
and programs they support is tremendous. We are proud to spotlight the individual
and collective impact of undergraduate students across the country,” said Kristine
Sturgeon, president of Purposeful Networks. “From encouraging positive everyday activities
like donating blood or volunteering to organize campus-wide events and fund-raising,
our next generation of leaders is making a measurable impact.”

Southeastern among universities where students graduate with least debt
U.S. News and World Report has listed Southeastern among the top regional universities in the South where students
graduate with the least debt.
The report was released Sept. 9 by the publication and shows that 57 percent
of Southeastern’s class of 2014 graduated with an average of $18,433, the lowest among
all regional universities in Louisiana. The ranking places Southeastern fourth among
the universities whose students incur the least debt.
“We’re pleased this report shows Southeastern is offering an excellent value
in higher education for students,” said President John L. Crain. “We are aware recent
tuition increases have affected our students financially, and we have made every effort
to provide assistance through scholarship support.”
U.S. News compiled its list using data that include loans taken out by students from private
financial institutions and from federal, state and local governments. The average
amount of debt refers to the cumulative amount borrowed by students who incurred debt
and not an average for all students.
Encore gubernatorial forum broadcasts set
Several encore broadcasts of the first statewide televised forum of the Louisiana
Gubernatorial race are scheduled over the next several weeks.
The Sept. 2 forum, held in Southeastern’s Columbia Theatre for the Performing
Arts, featured candidates Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne, Louisiana State Rep. John Bel Edwards,
and Public Service Commissioner Scott Angelle. U.S. Sen. David Vitter did not participate.
Southeastern and Northshore Technical Community College students served as panelists
while a recent Southeastern graduate moderated the event.
The Southeastern Channel will re-broadcast “Student Gubernatorial Forum: Their
Future, Their Questions” in four weekly airings presented according to the following
schedule: Mondays, 5 p.m. or 8 p.m.; Tuesdays, 7 a.m. or noon; Wednesdays, 6 p.m.
or 8 p.m.; Fridays 6 a.m.; Saturdays 1 p.m.; or 9 p.m.; and Sundays 7 a.m. or 10 a.m.
the Southeastern Channel is located on Charter Cable Channel 199.
The forum can also be seen on demand at the LPB website. Go to thesoutheasternchannel.com/govforum for more information about the event and its underwriters: First Guaranty Bank, Northshore
Business Council, Northshore Legislative Alliance, and Southeastern Student Government
Association.

Constitution Day Lecture will address Supreme Court same-sex marriage decision 
Patrick Traylor, a Hammond native and Washington, D.C. attorney, will return home
to deliver the annual Constitution Day Lecture titled “The Constitutional Right to
Same-Sex Marriage: The Supreme Court’s Opinion in Obergefell v. Hodges.”
Sponsored by the Department of History and Political Science with support from
members of the local community, the lecture will be presented at 1 p.m. on Wednesday,
Sept. 16, in the Student Union Theatre.
Earlier this year the Supreme Court delivered a controversial 5-4 decision saying
that the Constitution protects the right of same-sex couples to marry. Traylor, a
partner in the Washington, D.C. law firm of Hogan Lovells, will discuss the historical,
philosophical and constitutional underpinnings of this ruling. Admission is free and
open to the public.
Later, at 5 p.m. in Fayard Hall, room 225, Traylor will meet informally with
Southeastern students planning to attend law school to talk about getting into and
succeeding in law school and beginning a life in the legal profession. Meeting with
students on real world issues is an important element in the university’s Real-World
Ready effort to supplement classroom teaching with practical experiences.
“We are delighted to have Patrick Traylor for this year’s lecture,” said History
and Political Science Department Head William Robison. “The same-sex marriage issue
has been one of the most prominent news stories of the year and certainly the biggest
with regard to the U.S. Constitution. Although it has generated enormous public debate,
much of that has focused on the moral dimensions and social consequences of same-sex
marriage, and it has often been highly emotionally charged. Traylor’s lecture, on
the other hand, will examine the issue in constitutional terms.”
“That he also is willing to meet with our students to talk about law school is
an added bonus,” Robison added. “And on top of all that, Patrick is a great speaker,
just like his father, Ron (Traylor, instructor of history), my colleague and the organizer
of this event.”
Traylor is the son of Drs. Ron and Gwen Traylor. He earned a Bachelor of Arts
in history with an emphasis on classics and a minor in English from Texas A&M University
in 1991. He received his Juris Doctor degree in 1994 from the South Texas College
of Law, where he was an articles editor for the “South Texas Law Review.” He received
his Master of Law and Letters degree from the George Washington University School
of Law in 1996 with a specialization in Environmental Law. While in law school, Traylor
clerked for the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the United States Attorney’s
Office for the Southern District of Texas Environmental Crimes Unit, and the United
States Department of Justice Environment and Natural Resources Division Environmental
Enforcement Section.
Traylor joined the law firm of Hogan Lovells in Washington, DC in 1997 and became
a partner in the firm in 2003. Hogan Lovells is a global law firm with over 2,500
attorneys in more than 45 offices on six continents. His practice focuses on air quality
and climate change.
Traylor also served by appointments from Presidents George W. Bush and Barack
Obama to the Department of the Interior’s Wind Turbine Guidelines Federal Advisory
Committee. He began his career with the Chief Justice of the United States John Roberts
while he was a partner at the firm.
CONSTITUTION DAY LECTURE - Patrick Traylor, a Hammond native and Washington, D.C. attorney, will return home
to deliver the annual Constitution Day Lecture titled “The Constitutional Right to
Same-Sex Marriage: The Supreme Court’s Opinion in Obergefell v. Hodges.” Sponsored
by Southeastern’s Department of History and Political Science with support from members
of the local community, the lecture will be presented at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept.
16, in the Student Union Theatre.
Southeastern students, alumni invited to Career Fair Sept. 17
Southeastern students and alumni are invited to participate in Career Fair 2015, the
Office of Career Services’ annual university wide career event. And faculty are asked
to encourage student attendance.
Held as a benefit exclusively for Southeastern students and alumni, Career Fair
2015 will include over 130 organizational participants and will be held Thursday,
Sept. 17, from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the Pennington Student Activity Center on the
corner of University Avenue and General Pershing.
Representatives from various companies and associations, government agencies,
business, engineering, finance and banking industries will be on site to answer questions
and take resumes during the free event.
“Career Fair provides Southeastern students and graduates the opportunity to
obtain that much needed face time with recruiters to set themselves apart from the
rest of the pack and all of those faceless resumes that come their way,” said Ken
Ridgedell, director of Career Services. “There is no other venue that will allow you
to directly interact with recruiters and managers from over 130 employers and leave
a lasting, positive impression. In fact, it would take you months to speak with as
many recruiters as you can in one day at Southeastern’s Career Fair 2015.”
To get the most out of the fair, Ridgedell said students and alumni should bring
copies of their resumes; be prepared to briefly discuss career interests, goals, knowledge
and skills; and collect brochures and business cards.
For additional information on Career Fair 2015, visit www.southeastern.edu/careerfairinfo or contact Career Services at 549 2121 or careerservices@southeastern.edu.

Cast chosen for Opera Workshop's A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum
Southeastern’s Opera/Music Theatre Workshop will present the Broadway musical, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum on Thursday and Friday, Sept. 24 and 25, at 7:30 p.m. at the Columbia Theatre for
the Performing Arts in downtown Hammond.
“Stephen Sondheim is a living Broadway legend; for the last 50 years his musicals
have continually expanded the boundaries of what a Broadway musical can – and should
– be,” said Charles Effler, director of the Opera/Music Theatre Workshop.
Sondheim started his Broadway career as a lyricist for Leonard Bernstein’s West Side Story and Jule Styne’s Gypsy, which was a star vehicle for the famed Broadway belter, Ethel Merman. “Forum” was
the first show where he was both lyricist and composer.
Described in Time magazine as “a good, clean, dirty show,” Forum premiered in 1962 with a script inspired by the farces of ancient Roman playwright
Plautus.
“While the plot of Forum displays many classic elements of farce - puns, mistaken identities, and satirical
comments on social class, it also has a healthy dose of vaudeville and a smattering
of burlesque thrown in for good measure,” Effler said. “The original Broadway production
won five Tony awards, including Best Musical.”
Opera Workshop welcomes back guest stage director Alton Geno for this production.
In addition to a long career as a performer, choreographer, and director in New Orleans
and around the country, Geno directed Opera Workshop’s sold out-performances of Sweeney Todd last fall, as well as productions of The Light in the Piazza, South Pacific, The Wizard of Oz and The Music Man.
The cast includes Benjamin Vollentine (Covington) as Pseudolus, Nicholas Smith
(Ponchatoula) as Hysterium, Terelle Bibbins (Slidell) as Hero, Randi Gaspard (Covington)
as Philia, Brennan Simmons (Walker) as Senex, Rachel Denton (Jena) as Domina, Rob
Roy (Lacombe) as Miles Gloriosus, and Ned Kelsey (Abita Springs) as Erronius. As the
Proteans: Matt Jays (Kenner), Cody Sires (Chalmette), Wesley Newton (Bourg) and Dustin
Forsberg (Hammond) playing Marcus Lycus. As the Courtesans: Faith Entrekin (Luling)
and Lauren Gibson (Walker) as the Geminae Twins, Morgan Curole (Larose) as Tintinabula,
Cheyenne Moore (Slidell) as Vibrato, and Katy Prostman (Fraser, CO), as Panacea. Recent
music student graduate Allison Joiner (Ponchatoula) will appear as Gymnasia.
Effler will serve as musical director and conductor, Department of Fine and Performing
Arts (FPA) faculty member Mignon Charvet will design the costumes, and FPA staff member
Amanda Klipsch will design the lighting. New Orleans based designer Dave Raphel will
design the sets. Southeastern alumna Jane Rownd will serve as stage manager.
Advance tickets are available at the Columbia Theatre box office Monday through
Friday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will also be available one hour prior to each performance.
Ticket prices are $21 for adults; $16 for seniors, Southeastern faculty/staff and
non-Southeastern students. Southeastern students are admitted free of charge with
their ID.
For more information about the Opera/Music Theatre Workshop contact Effler at
ceffler@southeastern.edu.
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, book by Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart, music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim,
originally produced on Broadway by Harold S. Prince, is presented through special
arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI) and all authorized performance
materials are also supplied by MTI, 421 West 54th Street, New York, NY, 10019, www.MTIShows.com.

and some full text for 46 journals covering topics such as intellectual/learning disabilities,
mental health, criminology and forensic practice, working with vulnerable groups,
and management of services.
Coverage of the New York Times has also been expanded and is now available in
full text back to 1851.
All of these resources are available to Southeastern students and faculty, both
on and off-campus via the Library’s home page.
A program will be held in conjunction with the CFE on September 23 to demonstrate
