🔹 Most undergraduate students in history
🔹 Highest ever main campus total enrollment
🔹 Largest domestic class of first-time freshmen

While many institutions in our state and country are seeing a downturn in students, we are excited to welcome more individuals than ever to the Louisiana Tech family.

Louisiana Tech University enrolled 11,898 students in the fall quarter. Within that total are 2,432 first-time freshmen, the largest domestic class and most academically prepared class in Tech’s history. The number of freshmen with a 30 or higher ACT score is up 22 percent.

The video circulating on social media contains repugnant language and depicts behavior intolerable in society whether in a public square or a college campus. Severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive speech targeting individuals that interferes with their work or education is discriminatory harassment and will not be tolerated. We will investigate this incident fully and swiftly. Those found responsible will be held accountable.

A message from President Jim Henderson:

I just informed our campus community of my intention to retire at the end of the calendar year.

Serving as Louisiana Tech's 15th president has been the joy of my career. Returning to a college campus and engaging with faculty, staff, and students was exactly as I predicted — energizing and indescribably rewarding. What I could never have predicted was the warmth Tonia and I received not only from each of you but from the Ruston community at large and the broader Tech Family.

In the coming weeks there will be opportunities for conversations and proper goodbyes. Today, I want to affirm to you that this university, an institution with a sterling reputation and one steeped in history, is made better by the Tech family. You have enriched my life immeasurably. For that, I am grateful.

Ever Loyal,

Jim
