He understood that good teaching is an extension of an active professional research agenda.

This year’s theme is Heroes, Villians, and Sidekicks, and we are calling for one and all to support the UL Lafayette College of the Arts at our annual costume ball. Come in a costume and participate in our costume contest or compete for the best table decoration. However, you interpret the theme, bring a new friend and catch up with the old ones as we dance the night away.  Great music from the Big Band UL Jazz Ensemble, along with a delicious dinner served cocktail buffet-style. Additionally, we will also have our ever popular live and silent auctions at  http://beauxartsball2019.ggo.mobi/
