The state Senate honored President Emeritus Dr. Joseph Savoie on Tuesday in recognition of a career that shaped higher education in Louisiana and transformed the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.
Joined by family, friends, supporters and members of the University community, Dr. Savoie was recognized for nearly five decades of service to the state, including 12 years as commissioner of higher education and 17 as president of his alma mater.
We are grateful to Sen. Gerald Boudreaux, members of Acadiana’s legislative delegation and Senate leadership for celebrating Dr. Savoie’s extraordinary legacy.
Congratulations, Dr. Savoie — and thank you for your service to our University, our region and our state! - posted via UL Facebook page.
