Letter From the President

Xavierites,

Welcome to Xavier University of Louisiana - a school rooted in tradition and committed to success! I am your 2012-2013 Student Government Association President. I am a native of Jackson, Ms and studying Chemistry here at Xavier University of Louisiana. One of my favorite quotes is, "success always looks easy to those who weren't around when it was being earned." Here at XULA, beating the odds and achieving success is an everyday occurrence. Through hard-work, diligence, and determination you will accomplish whatever you set out for here at Xavier University of Louisiana. As your student leaders, we are your voice. As a student enrolled at Xavier University of Louisiana you are a member of the Student Government Association, so let your voice be heard. With many debate watch and result parties and town hall meetings to hear student concerns, this year is going to be amazing! If there is ever any concern, fill out a student concern form on the 1st floor of the UC or feel free to come visit us in the University Center in room 210B.

Ashley Trussell
