Annual Convocation
August 05, 2020
Our annual Convocation is scheduled for next Friday, August 14. The Convocation is one of our most important events and serves to kick off the start of the new academic year. It is also an important opportunity for us to introduce new members of the Southeastern family, recognize the accomplishments of our colleagues and, in true Louisiana fashion, enjoy some fellowship and good food prior to the beginning of the Fall Semester.Campus Update
June 22, 2020
Today is the target date by which most of our campus offices will resume on-campus operations during normal business hours, albeit with generally reduced staffing levels to help ensure compliance with facility capacity limits, social distancing requirements, and other public health safety guidelines.Stage Two Plans

June 19, 2017
Following a somewhat ignominious June 8 end to the Regular Legislative Session and the associated failure to adopt a State budget, the Louisiana Legislature accomplished the necessary task this past week in a brief special session that ended on June 16, 2017.
