Dr. Jack Strong, chairman of pathology at LSU Health Sciences Center, will receive the Order of the Rising Sun tomorrow for his scientific achievements as well as his work to improve cultural and academic relations between the United States and Japan.
Dr Strong, one of only 15 in the world to be presented with this prestigious award, will receive it at a private ceremony in City Park’s Botanical Garden tomorrow. Appropriate, as Dr Strong is also president of the Japanese Garden Society of New Orleans, which contribued a Japanese garden to New Orleans Botanical Garden in 2003.
Congratulations Dr Strong, from all your friends and colleagues here at LSUHSC. (Or as the Japanese say, omedetou gozaimasu!)

The School of Dentistry received a “Bouquet” in this week’s Gambit Weekly for distributing sealants to prevent tooth decay to 60 elementary school students. The article is not online yet, but you can read about it in the print copy here in the library. Way to geaux, Tigers!
The renovation project for the new Library Commons will start this Summer. The plans for the area are now on view in the Isché Library. Come check them out.
Information Services released an announcement today about filming which will affect the downtown campus:
I have just been made aware that there will be filming that will affect our campus beginning today. It?óÔé¼Ôäós an action adventure film called ?óÔé¼?ôTwelve Rounds?óÔé¼?Ø. The memo University Police received this morning from LSU Interim Hospital states that the film company will be preparing University Hospital from Friday, April 25 – Monday, April 28. The film company will be shooting nightly from Tuesday April 29 – Friday May 2. They say there will be intermittent traffic flow used around the hospital. Most of the work at the hospital will be done inside and on the helipad, but there will be some exterior work on Tuesday during the day and evening. There will be a simulated explosion done outside on Tuesday in the late afternoon.
No parking signs will be posted by the City from Friday, April 25 at 5:00 a.m. – Friday, May 2 at 7:00 p.m. in the following locations:
1900, 2000 and 2100 blocks of Perdido Street
400, 500, and 600 blocks of Bolivar Street
1900, 2000, and 2100 blocks of Gravier Street (with street closures overseen by NOPD)
500 block of S. Prieur Street
400 and 500 blocks of S. Johnson Street (with street closures overseen by NOPD)
Which means no street parking this weekend in front of the Library’s building. Can’t wait for that explosion on Tuesday!
Just in case you missed the email from the chancellor:
The New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival will be held at the New Orleans Fairgrounds this weekend and next. Dr. Eric Hovland, Dean of our Dental School, has extended an invitation to all faculty, staff and students with their LSUHSC ID?óÔé¼Ôäós to park at the Dental School if they are planning to attend Jazz Fest. University Police will accommodate entering and exiting through the Tensas Street Gate (the back Walk Thru Gate) on the above-referenced dates until 7:45 PM each night. After 7:45 PM, entering and exiting will only be allowed through the Florida Avenue drive-in. ALL LSUHSC rules and regulations remain in effect regarding proper use and care of our campus properties and facilities. Please see Captain William Joseph for any other questions.

What’s all that hustle & bustle out on Gravier Street this morning?
Apparently they’re filming scenes for the film Final Destination 4.
And don’t forget: some parts of the CBD will be closed today until 3pm for the North American Summit.
Just a reminder, students, faculty and staff will need their LSUHSC IDs to access campus areas after 6pm beginning today, Monday, April 14. Read more >
Good luck everyone!
