On Wednesday, I had a visit from Tech architecture alumnus Tim Brandon to get an update on the progress of the South End Zone facility construction. Kathy and I were pleased to join alumni and strong Tech supporters Billy and Millicent McConnell at their house with other friends for a special dinner on Tuesday evening.ĭow Chemical Public Affairs employees gather at the bulldog for a photo-op Following that meeting, we met up with several Bossier/Shreveport Tech alumni for lunch. I appreciate Mayor Walker’s inclusion of Louisiana Tech faculty, staff and students in so many of these developments.įollowing my meeting with Mayor Walker, Ryan Richard and I went to visit with our colleagues at the Cyber Innovation Center to update and plan more projects with CIC President Craig Spohn and his VP GB Cazes. Bossier’s economy has grown significantly under his leadership, and that was recently manifested with the location of Computer Science Corporation’s new technology center at the National Cyber Research Park. Mayor Walker has been progressive in promoting education, community development, and the growth of Bossier’s high-tech economy. Budget planning meetings continued for me and my team this week, but I had planned a few trips to get me out to connect with alumni and friends. On Tuesday, I visited with Bossier City Mayor Lo Walker, a long-time Tech supporter and friend.
