SPRING EDITION APRIL 29 - MAY 9
Northwestern State president Dr. Chris Maggio announced Friday that he will retire from the university effective July 1, 2021. He has served as president since January of 2017 and has been a member of NSU’s faculty, staff and administration for 33 years. “This is a decision that was made during prayerful deliberation with my family and was based entirely on considerations of our family’s future plans and aspirations. There has been no pressure or even the slightest nudge from anyone for me to step down from the presidency,” Maggio stated. He said, “As gratifying as it has been to work over the years in athletics, recruitment and enrollment management, alumni and development, student affairs and as a vice-president and presi-
dent, those responsibilities have necessitated extensive time away from my family.”

“Dr. Maggio has served Northwestern passionately over the past four years, and the progress and accomplishments of the school reflect his effective leadership and dedication to his alma mater and mine.” Henderson, who preceded Maggio as president of NSU, stated, “All of us who care deeply about Northwestern are indebted to Chris for his major contributions to the university, especially in such a difficult period, and we wish him well in retirement and the next phase of his life.” The University of Louisiana System Board of Supervisors “will begin immediately developing the process to assure a successful transition of leadership at NSU in the weeks ahead,” Henderson said.

meant to honor the fallen soldiers who have died for their country over the years. While re-raising the flag is meant to symbolize the resolve of the living to carry on the fight for freedom so that our nation’s heroes will not have died in vain. Additionally, many will wear or put on a display of red poppies as a symbol of fallen soldiers.
