LSUA Celebrates Commencement for its Largest Graduating Class Ever with 504 Graduates

ALEXANDRIA - LSU of Alexandria hosted family and friends on Thursday at the Rapides Parish Coliseum to celebrate the commencement of 504 graduates, LSUA’s largest graduating class to date.

LSUA’s Fall 2024 graduating class marks the largest in the university’s history, reflecting a 17% increase over the previous record of 430 graduates set in Spring 2024 and an impressive 54% growth compared to Fall 2023. Leading the class are graduates from three top programs: B.S. Nursing, B.S. Psychology, and B.S. Business Administration.

The ceremony also recognized the 187 graduates who completed their degrees at the end of the summer session. In total, over the course of 2024, LSUA graduated 1,129 students, a remarkable 30% increase over last year.

LSUA Chancellor Paul Coreil, Ph.D., who served as master of ceremony, said, “Congratulations on completing your academic journey! The faculty and staff of LSUA are incredibly proud of you for reaching this significant milestone in your life. Graduating from college reflects the sacrifices, dedication, and hard work you have invested in your future. We celebrate those accomplishments and extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who supported you in achieving this incredible goal.”

“Don’t be average. Avoid complacency at all costs and strive for excellence in everything you do,” said Monte Wilson, CEO of CHRISTUS St. Frances Cabrini Hospital, during the commencement address. “The perfect moment is a myth—the right time is now. Be compassionate, trustworthy, and kind. Keep your word, honor your commitments, and persevere through life’s challenges. Seek knowledge, listen for advice, and work hard, because anything worth having comes with a cost. We need individuals who will push past boundaries and create a future defined by integrity and determination.”
