Louisiana Board of Regents

The Louisiana Board of Regents serves as the state’s leading force for talent development.

The Board of Regents, a state agency created by the 1974 Louisiana Constitution, coordinates all public higher education in Louisiana. The Board began operations on January 1, 1975, succeeding the Coordinating Council for Higher Education per Article VIII, Section 5; Article VII, Section 10.1. Regents is the coordinating board for higher education while the system boards handle the day-to-day mana

gement of campuses. Through EDUCATION, INNOVATION, and COLLABORATION, Regents oversees the Master Plan, including Funding Formula, Merger and Transfer of Institutions, Capital Outlay, Approval and Elimination of Programs & Departments, and Regents Support Fund Allocations.

The 2026 LaHEC Annual Professional Development Summit brought Louisiana’s higher education community together for two impactful days of learning, collaboration, and shared commitment to student well-being.

We were proud to join campus leaders, prevention professionals, student support teams, public health partners, and colleagues from across the state for meaningful conversations focused on student well-being, collegiate recovery, problem gambling and sports betting, prevention, and campus safety.
