President's Welcome
 

Dr. Ray Authement, President
  Welcome to the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, home of Louisiana's Ragin' Cajuns.

I invite you to take a closer look at UL Lafayette, Louisiana's second largest university. Located about three hours northwest of New Orleans, we are situated in the middle of a rich cultural area known as Acadiana.

We are famous for our superb food, hospitality and joie de vivre, or joy of life. I hope you spend some time at this web site learning more about the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.

And, if you get a chance, please visit our campus. Stroll beneath massive oaks that were planted in 1900 by UL Lafayette's first president. Take a look at Cypress Lake in the middle of campus, where alligators often sun on its banks.

You are always welcome at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.

Dr. Ray Authement
