The university’s marketing program was recently ranked second in the state by Plexuss, an education technology company based in California. Plexuss connects millions of students globally with opportunities and research in higher education, according to their mission statement.
In determining which universities in the state have the best marketing programs, Plexuss used data from the Department of Education to look at key factors such as graduation rates, admissions yield, program popularity and student retention rates.
Associate Professor of marketing Tarà Lopez, who is responsible for many of the advances in the department during the past few years along with Assistant Professor of marketing April Kemp, shared what makes the marketing program at Southeastern different from others across the state.
Southeastern’s Community Music School summer programs will be returning in June with two popular courses.
Following a hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the faculty at the Community Music School is preparing their summer program for students interested in music.
“Summer is a great time for students who are wanting to take music lessons but don’t know if they will like it or if they will have the time,” CMS Director Jivka Duke said.
The summer program will mainly feature the Chamber Music Workshop and the Middle School Band Camp for local students.
The Chamber Music Workshop allows students to work on their sight-reading skills and techniques on stringed instruments.

Sartori won in the “Talent” category for his demo reel submission, a composite of his on-camera anchoring and reporting work at the Southeastern Channel, for the second year in a row. Sartori said after receiving his first Emmy in his junior year, he worked to improve in his craft.
The 20th anniversary of the Bill Evans Jazz Festival will commence on Wednesday, April 14 through Saturday, April 17, to showcase university student and faculty jazz performances in addition to a guest artist and other school groups from around the region.
After last year’s festival was canceled, Director of Jazz and Percussion Studies Michael Brothers set out to plan this year’s celebration and was able to get the event approved by the university with several new restrictions in place.
Brothers said the event usually allows for up to 25 groups from schools around the region to register for performances as a part of the university’s partnership with the Louisiana Association for Jazz Education. Less than 15 groups are participating this year, but Brothers said the schools, as well as Southeastern, are grateful for the opportunity.
