The Board of Supervisors of Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College formally administered the oath of office to Supervisor LeVar Henderson during its public meeting.
Chairman Ballard called the meeting to order and invited the Marine Forces Reserve color guard from New Orleans to present the colors. After an invocation and the Pledge of Allegiance, Ballard asked Supervisor LeVar Henderson to come forward to take the oath. Supervisor John Carmouche administered the oath, during which Henderson recited the pledge to support the constitutions and laws of the United States and Louisiana and the bylaws of the LSU Board of Supervisors. The board observed and offered congratulations following the swearing-in.
The ceremony included brief remarks and introductions for student representatives who participated in the invocation and pledge. Dean-level and student leaders were acknowledged by the chair, and state Representative Dixon McMakin offered remarks later in the meeting that touched on the board's search for LSU's next president.
The swearing-in concluded with applause and formal recognition of Henderson and the students who participated in the program. No formal vote was required; the oath was administered as an official, ceremonial act of the board.
The meeting then recessed for committee work.
