Envision ULM 2006

On November 9, ULM held Envision ULM 2006, a celebration of ULM's accomplishments. It was a night where ULM supporters celebrated their university's proud past and looked ahead to ULM's bright future.

Attendees heard from President Cofer about ULM's progress and plans after honoring the 2006 Hall of Distinction recipients, Bennie and Nelson Abell.

The evening started with complimentary champagne, blended with the smooth jazz sounds of a student quartet, a wonderful rendition of "God Bless America" by Katherine Putnam, Miss ULM 2007, and a fine dinner as table partners shared many fond memories, fellowship and camaraderie.
