Grateful to share the field with Rafael Hernandez, Penny Powell, Beth Stauffer, and Doug Williams as this year’s Eminent Faculty Award recipients during the UL vs. Texas Tech game. The night honored our military and veterans—and ended with a Cajun win. #GeauxCajuns

#MindfulnessMonday -- "You won’t fully understand the other side until you experience it." Quote from article about Android + Apple household. But not too different from "Walk a mile in someone else's shoes." [Maybe should have saved this for #TechTuesday . 🤔] www.androidpolice.com/my-house-is-...

Inspired & grateful.

In July, I was again visiting #NewOrleans #FrenchQuarter. My new regular stop is #CrescentCityBooks where I found an autographed 1997 first edition #JamesPatterson novel … addressed to me 28 years ago: To Phil. Merry Christmas! – J. Patterson

17 of my 23 years at UL Lafayette were shaped by Pres. Joseph Savoie’s incredible leadership. It was an honor to work closely with him, Provost Hebert, and our leadership as Faculty Senate President (2021–2025). Grateful for Dr. Savoie's legacy and for Dr. Hebert’s guidance as we move forward.

Politicians,
You were elected to represent—not to rise in the ranks or chase approval.
Lead with courage.
Serve with purpose.
Put people—put humanity—first.
Start with your district. Then your region. Then your country.
That’s how real change begins.

#Juneteenth is a reminder that freedom delayed is freedom unheard. In 1865, news of emancipation reached the last enslaved people in Texas — 2+ years late.
Without communication, there can be no freedom.

#FirstAmendment rights were on full display June 14 as an estimated 300 people gathered in downtown Lafayette, LA. The peaceful assembly served as a reminder that open expression remains a vital part of #democracy and civic life.

"Danger, Will Robinson!" I trusted my AI. Please send chapter proposals for "Para Social Media: A New Era of Parasocial Interaction and Media Evolution" to lauren.auverset@louisiana.edu , not my AI hallucinated cool (but not working) email address.

#MindfulnessMonday -- Sometimes the best thing to do right now is not the most "important" or most "urgent" work-related tasks. Rest, relaxation, and "time wasting" play -- in moderation -- are an important part of a balanced life.
