Northwestern State University students who qualified for CARES Act relief will receive an additional award as the university disburses the remainder of funds it received.  “We would like to divide this amount across the 4,426 that have qualified to receive funds, providing them with an additional check in the amount of $147.50,” said Dawn Eubanks, assistant controller and bursar.

From Thomas C. Galligan, Jr. LSU Interim President and Professor of Law to the LSU family:

After exploring many possibilities for how to safely try to hold our August commencement ceremony, we have made the difficult decision to conduct a virtual ceremony on August 7. We know this news will disappoint many of our graduates and their families, but the safety of our LSU community is our utmost priority. We still pledge to hold in-person commencement ceremonies at a later date for all those who did not get to have one – either in May or in August – and we will communicate those plans to you as soon as possible.

A message to our children from The Journal.  Study Engilsh, grammer, speling, and how to rite and express uself with proper puntchuation. That way when you become the editor of a journal or news item, the people you send them to will not have to correct all of your mistakes.  Here at the Red River Parish Journal we have a typo filter that we got from an area newspaper when they wore it out. Still woks purty good most of the tim.
