message from the board chair I would like to start off by saying that while serving on the Board of Directors for the 2012-2013 academic year, my experience was nothing short of wonderful and enriching. The Board started the year with the celebration of the LSU 20th year anniversary. The Board established expectations and a vision for the Union in more ways than one this year. The Board addressed many needs of the students through strategic programming and services. A great deal of business was conducted such as revising the bylaws to comply with new CSU executive orders, a fiscal audit was conducted, and decisions were made regarding changes to the facility to best support the needs of students. The Board of Directors was faced with many tough decisions throughout the year. However, one particular discussion not only involved the Board members but many students as well. The Board developed a space programming proposal to find a way to support creation of a meditation room, television lounge, and relocation of campus radio station KDHR. While facility planning and design is still an ongoing process, much progress has been made in the best interest of all students. The Board of Directors also worked on revisions to the LSU Student Assistant Employee Handbook, which now includes an Anti-Bullying Policy. Lastly, I would like to share my personal thoughts from serving as the Chair on the Board of Directors. Serving as Chair has broadened my perspective of student life and the services that the LSU offers to students. The experience helped me grow as a leader; I grew to take on my position with confidence and certainty. My entire experience with the Board has been nothing less than great. I had the opportunity to work with awesome faculty and staff, and to build friendships with other student leaders. Serving on the Board has made me more appreciative of the hard work that goes into the daily operations of the LSU and all the behind-the-scenes work as well. Last but not least, I have developed great leadership skills that I will be able to use in my future endeavors.
Gina Delahoussaye Chair, Board of Directors Class of 2012

message from the director Welcome to the inaugural re-issue of the Donald P. and Katherine B. Loker Student Union annual report celebrating a significant milestone – our 20th year anniversary! Throughout the year, the LSU celebrated the anniversary by carrying out large-scale events, historical displays, introducing new services, and by establishing a new vision statement. This annual report is dedicated to highlighting these achievements. In support of the new vision, the LSU Board of Directors (BOD) and staff worked to reconnect with students in meaningful ways. A notable result of BOD efforts has been the addition of open forum at board meetings, which students have responded to by participating and expressing their needs. Staff introduced new services and will continue to add what students seek to help bring the facility to life through aesthetic and programmatic enhancements. Among the successes of the year, came an event for which the LSU reached the highest attendance to date. The LSU programming board – Toro Productions – spearheaded a collaborative programming effort to sponsor a lecture by Dr. Cornel West. The event was attended by students, faculty, staff and alumni. The ballroom’s 800 seat capacity was reached and overflow crowds listened to the lecture broadcasted throughout the lounges on all three floors of the building. It is my sincere hope that you enjoy reading the report and that you rediscover the bounty of programs and services available at the LSU.

Union provides an employment program “ The Loker Student for its students. It’s not just a job… it’s an experience! ” The LSU understands the importance of teaching Student Assistant Employees (SAE) various skills sought by employers. The goal is to help SAE develop professionally and personally, so while working at the LSU, they can gain skill sets that will make them competitive in the job market. A day-long training is held before the fall and the spring semesters to help SAE reconnect with one another, re-energize for the semester and to become familiar with what’s new in the LSU. SAE also attend monthly in-service trainings that focus on skills to help them succeed. This year’s theme for all trainings was Emotional Intelligence and it was well received by our SAE. Learning outcomes for 2012-2013 were: • Student Assistant Employees will develop a set of transferable skills valued by employers (communication, analytical, teamwork, strong work ethic, technical). • Student Assistant Employees will develop self-awareness and personal identity using Emotional Intelligence (develop personal values for ethical leadership; identify core leadership skills and strengths; plan how to act as a change agent; problem solving and decision making; and strategies to resolve conflicts).
