The mission of the Board of Regents is to serve as the state’s leading force for talent development through quality, affordable post-secondary education for all. To achieve our mission, we adopted a Master Plan that focuses on developing talent - with a goal of reaching 60% of Louisiana’s working adults to achieve a college degree or certificate of value by 2030. In other words, we have to double our numbers!
This podcast is designed to showcase visionary leaders, innovative ideas, and best practices around access, success, and equity for all college students.
Regents celebrates the achievements of first-generation college students and graduates across Louisiana each November. During our annual #FirstGen Week (November 1-8), we highlight first-gen students on our social media channels. This year, we capped off our #FirstGen Week at Baton Rouge Community College with a roundtable discussion with first-generation students and staff.
For the final podcast episodes of 2024, we recorded the #FirstGen roundtable discussion with BRCC students and staff. What you will hear in their perspectives is our "why" for what we do — it's all about the students. Listen to Part 2 of our special two-part First-Gen episode.

Dr. Donna Beegle
Last month, we kicked off our new (academic) year with our annual Staff Retreat at BRCC’s Automotive Training Center. Not only was it an opportunity to come together as agency staff, but it was also a chance for us to see various training programs up close as BRCC students demonstrated the skills they are learning to enter the workforce.
The highlight of our retreat was the captivating and inspirational Dr. Donna Beegle. Born into a migrant-labor family and married at 15, Dr. Beegle is the only member of her family who has not been incarcerated. By age 25, she earned her GED and then, within 10 years, received her Ph.D. in Educational Leadership.
Dr. Kim Hunter Reed and Dr. Beegle sat down after the retreat for an hour-long conversation to further discuss her journey and what we as higher education leaders can do to succeed in moving Louisiana from poverty to prosperity.
