This legislative session, our representatives and governor will make critical decisions about higher education and the future of important programs like GSU’s new Cybersecurity degree.
As the only historically black college/university (HBCU) in the UL system and the state’s leading provider of African-American graduates in key areas like computer science, it’s critical to make sure the GSU voice is heard throughout the Capitol.
“We appreciate the legislature’s continued support of higher education,” said President Rick Gallot of Grambling State University. “Our big vision requires support on every level, which includes ensuring we can recruit and retain world class faculty and staff who drive academic success.”
South Louisiana Grambling State alumni and supporters are encouraged to join this year’s ULS Day events. Check www.gram.edu/news for more updates on itineraries and events or email mediarelations@gram.edu for more details.
