Dear Stakeholders:
The LSUS Foundation has joined the LSU Shreveport administration in taking proactive steps to limit the spread of Coronavirus/COVID-19.
The Spring Street Museum in downtown Shreveport has closed and will remain closed indefinitely. We hope to accomplish some capital projects at the museum during this time.
All foundation events on and off the LSUS campus have been cancelled. This includes a book talk luncheon March 16; a scholarship appreciation luncheon April 2; and a Donor Appreciation Fair April 30.
The foundation will continue operating. We will work remotely as much as possible.
LSU Shreveport has championed online learning for several years now. We are proud of the institution, and we believe their experience with distance learning will be showcased during this time. We remain committed to LSU Shreveport and YOU. You can reach us by email or phone.
We understand that these decisions may be disruptive to many, and they were not made without careful consideration. But it’s the right thing to do, and we believe it gives us our best chance at keeping our community as healthy as possible.
Sincerely,
Laura Perdue
A book talk luncheon with acclaimed new author Mary Adkins set for Monday, March 16 has been cancelled as we do our part to limit the spread of Coronavirus/COVID-19.
Adkins' second novel "Privilege," was released by HarperCollins March 10. The novel focuses on a group of students at Carter University, a tradition-filled campus that bills itself as "The Harvard of the South." Adkins explores social class, race and gender dynamics in the novel.
The book is available on the HarperCollins website. Click on the link below to learn more.
