What a day it was for former state Sen. Greg Tarver. Even Shreveport Mayor Tom Arceneaux sent a proclamation making it 'Greg Tarver Day.' 'Celebrating 32 years of dedicated service in the Louisiana State Legislature' was hosted by Caddo School Board Member Dottie Bell, AT&T-Louisiana President David Aubrey, Multicultural Center Chief Janice Gatlin, Willie Bradford, Archie Hall, former Shreveport Mayor Keith Hightower, Frank Williams, Rick Pernici, Bernie Woods, and Sam Gilliam at the Multicultural Center of the South. Civil Rights activist Maxine Sarpy said, 'We would not be where we are today in the community without you.' Former Shreveport Mayor Hightower gave praise, 'What we needed for the city you helped us get… He was the easiest person to work with. I praise you. I appreciate you. I honor you.' Others reminded him of the money he raised for public entities, how he always answered phone calls, what he has done to make life better in different ways for so many and what he means to this community. 'We love you Greg,' was said by many. When committee member Ron Miciotto said he had a long and enduring friendship with Tarver, the honoree piped up, 'He's my personal attorney.' To help the former senator celebrate, his son, Greg Tarver Jr., flew in from Oakland, Calif. and surprised maybe 'stunned' is a better word - him at the reception. 'I flew in this morning, but he didn't know I was coming,' said Greg Jr., who works for the City of Oakland.

LSU Shreveport smashed its previous enrollment record as the university has crossed the 10,000 mark for the first time in the school’s history. LSUS announced a final spring enrollment of 10,214 on Wednesday. “For the first time in LSUS history, our enrollment has surpassed 10,000 students, thanks to increases in both undergraduate and graduate enrollments,” said LSUS Chancellor Dr. Robert Smith. “This is the result of hard work on behalf of everyone on campus as LSUS continues to focus on the success of our students, recruiting students and working to retain them through graduation. “This is also the result of LSUS developing programs that are meeting student interests as well as contemporary workforce needs.” While most university enrollments shrink from fall to spring semesters, the LSUS graduate student programs and its year-round start dates were key drivers in the enrollment increase. The enrollment increase is nearly 1,500 students higher than Spring 2023, a jump of 17 percent year-over-year. LSUS posted its second-highest enrollment number in Fall 2023, with its 9,736 students falling just short of the previous LSUS record of 9,955 in the Fall of 2020. But the Spring 2024 enrollment featured a 478-student increase from Fall 2023. LSUS’s growth comes at a time when many universities in the state and across the nation are navigating enrollment and financial headwinds.
