Campus Update – STEM summit
January 13th, 2022
Dear students, faculty, and staff,
Good Thursday morning.
Louisiana Tech University hosts one of nine STEM centers in the state, the SCILS Center in the College of Education.
Together with the Board of Regents and other centers, we will be helping cohost the LASTEM summit in February. Registration is currently open online.
In addition to the conference, we will have presenters from our University who will showcase the great things happening at Louisiana Tech University. Registration is free, and attendees will get the opportunity to network with STEM leaders, funders, corporate partners and educators from around our region.
Tech Family Walking Group
We will begin the new year for our Tech Family Walking Group at 8 a.m. Saturday in Aspire Plaza (between the College of Business and Keeny Hall). If you’ve started the new year committed to greater health and wellness, take a little time to enjoy walking and talking with colleagues and friends this weekend. Everyone is welcome to join!
Testing, vaccinations, and reporting
Louisiana National Guard members provide testing from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. each weekday and COVID-19 vaccinations from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. each Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
Register for testing online at health.questdiagnostics.com/STLOU and receive your results online as well. As always, you can also make an appointment online for testing at TechCare.
Reporting COVID exposure or a positive test promptly is important so that we can ensure you receive the appropriate accommodations. Accommodations and/or excused absences may not be granted if proper University reporting protocol is not followed.
If faculty or staff members test positive for COVID or are exposed to the virus, they must notify both their direct supervisor and Human Resources. The contact in Human Resources is Sheila Trammel at 318.257.2235 or strammel@latech.edu.
Students should email Stacy Gilbert at stacyc@latech.edu to report COVID illness or exposure. They should provide name, campus ID, cell phone, whether they live on or off campus, and best contact method. Our Student Resource Team (SRT) continues to work with staff and faculty to ensure students receive the appropriate accommodations. However, the SRT does not manage accommodations for other illnesses.
We all owe the SRT a big THANK YOU for their tireless work in supporting our needs in accommodations and contact tracing. Their work is non-stop in times like this. They are doing so much work to keep our campus as healthy and safe as possible while enabling us to continue with our education goals. If you are on the phone with them, or see them around campus, please give them your thanks!
Let’s remember to help protect our peers and colleagues’ health and safety throughout this quarter. Mask up and stay home if you are feeling sick!
Les Guice
President
