In light of the recent announcement regarding the final stages of the search for Louisiana Tech University’s next president, the university community is once again reflecting on the retirement of Dr. Jim Henderson.

Dr. Henderson became Louisiana Tech University’s 15th president on January 1, 2024, beginning a new chapter in the university’s history. Although his time at Louisiana Tech spanned just over two years, his presence and contributions made a lasting impression on the university community, including helping the athletics to enter the Sun Belt Conference. Throughout his presidency, Dr. Henderson became a familiar and beloved face among students, faculty, and staff. His willingness to engage with members of the Louisiana Tech community and his dedication to the university helped make his time as president memorable.

While the announcement of his retirement marked the end of his chapter at Louisiana Tech, it also provided an opportunity to recognize and appreciate the time, leadership, and commitment he shared with the university. As Dr. Henderson moves into this next chapter of his life, the Louisiana Tech community wishes him nothing but the best. We extend our thoughts and well wishes as he navigates his medical endeavors and hope that the years ahead bring him happiness, peace, and good health.

His presence on campus will certainly be missed, but the impact he made on the Louisiana Tech community will not soon be forgotten.
