Baton Rouge, La - The
Southern University Agricultural Research and Extension Center held its 2014 Spring
Convocation and concluded the day with a flag launch to commemorate the lives of
individuals impacted by tobacco use. An estimated
47,000 African Americans die every year from tobacco related illnesses and diseases.
The SU Ag Center has taken the charge to educate this target population about
prevention and intervention measures to mitigate the issue in Louisiana. This has
steered the way to a tobacco-free Southern University System.
The two-day convocation brought SU Ag Center employees from across
the state for reports, updates and plans for the future. Administrators,
faculty and staff convene once a year to review the state of the Center and
plans of moving forward strategically.
Chancellor Leodrey Williams said as part of his welcome message
that our focus must be on the present and future approaches of enhancing the
quality of life among Louisiana citizens. “It is about accountability and
efficiency, Dr. Williams added.
