CAMPUS NEWS



LAKER LOG
We are exploring the feasibility of printing a limited number of Laker Log magazines twice annually, hard copies to mail to interested alumni. Because no funding has been earmarked for a publication, the printed edition would have to be self-sustaining. Please click here 
if you would be interested in receiving a printed edition of the Laker Log magazine.

Scott Collins '08 landed a  faculty position at Texas Tech  where he is  continuing to do great work in freshwater science. Since graduating from LSSU Scott completed his PhD at Idaho State and a post-doc in Illinois working on Asian carp. Go, Scott!
