Why Strategic Planning

LSU Eunice has engaged in strategic planning to:

1. Respond to the changing higher education landscape and the needs of LSU Eunice’s various stakeholders,
2. Provide future direction for LSU Eunice using improved decision making based on strategic thought, and
3. Improve institutional performance and effectiveness.

The Chancellor’s Cabinet and Extended Cabinet are currently leading the Strategic Planning process.

Purpose

The purpose of this page is to provide LSU Eunice stakeholders information and to be transparent about the Strategic Planning Process currently underway. 

The LSU Eunice Community is welcome to offer opinions and suggestions by contacting Dr. Paul Fowler, Director of Institutional Effectiveness and Accreditation at pfowler@lsue.edu or 337-550-1433.
