- 38 doctoral degrees

“Your diploma is an invitation to change the world – not just to do well for yourself, but to do good for others,” Dr. Joseph Savoie, UL Lafayette president, said at Friday's ceremony.
“And these are the expectations that we have of you,” he added. “These are the expectations that our University has had for each generation of graduates throughout its long history. And, like each generation that’s gone before, we have no doubt that you’re prepared to exceed these expectations and to set a higher bar for those who follow.”
