Burkhalter to ULM grads: Education opens doors
posted E-mail Story E-mail Story | Print Story Print Story 
Elsie Burkhalter, chair of the University of Louisiana System Board of Supervisors, told new graduates of the University of Louisiana at Monroe on Saturday that she hoped each would remember that education opens doors.

Burkhalter delivered the commencement address at ULM's Fall Commencement Exercises on Saturday, Dec. 19, in Fant-Ewing Coliseum. ULM President James E. Cofer conferred 454 degrees to 456 students,  several who graduated with honors.

The top five honor graduates all earned 4.00 grade point averages. They were: Max Antony of Anacoco, a criminal justice major; Abby Comeaux of West Monroe, a kinesiology major; Jeffrey Kendrick of Jena, a biology major; Lauren Smith of Pineville, a criminal justice and English double major; and Thomas Tugwell of Monroe, an insurance major.
