The Roger Hadfield Ogden Honors College at Louisiana State University was founded in 1992 and is a vibrant, diverse, and prestigious academic community located at the heart of LSU. The Ogden Honors College typically admits the top 10% of incoming LSU freshmen, and provides its students with a curriculum of rigorous seminar classes, mentoring relationships with top LSU faculty, and opportunities for undergraduate research, culminating in the Honors Thesis.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://sites01.lsu.edu/wp/lovepurple/2014/12/13/roger-h-ogden-family/ )〕 Its focus on community service, study abroad, internships and independent research helps today’s high-achieving students become tomorrow’s leaders. The Ogden Honors College is led by Dean Dr. Jonathan Earle, who joined the University in 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.lsu.edu/ur/ocur/lsunews/MediaCenter/News/2014/05/item69956.html )〕 Since 2005, Ogden Honors students have been awarded with more than 90 prestigious national and international fellowships, including 16 Goldwater Scholarships, 8 Truman Scholarships, 18 NSF Graduate Research Fellowships, 5 Critical Language Scholarships, and 3 Udall Scholarships.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.honors.lsu.edu/student-support/advising/fellowship-advising/past-award-winners )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.truman.gov/search-our-scholars?field_profile_name_at_award_value=&field_profile_selection_year_value=&field_profile_selection_state_tid=All&field_institution_name_value=louisiana+state+university )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://goldwater.scholarsapply.org/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.fastlane.nsf.gov/grfp/AwardeeList.do?method=loadAwardeeList )〕 In December of 2014, LSU announced that they had received a $12 million investment from Roger Ogden, notable alumnus and philanthropist, the largest unrestricted endowed gift in LSU history. Shortly after, the LSU Board of Supervisors approved the renaming of the college to be the "Roger Hadfield Ogden Honors College" in honor of Ogden's late father and son. ==History and setting== In 1992, the LSU Board of Supervisors approved the transformation of the honors program at the University—a collection of courses in a number of departments across campus—into the LSU Honors College. Bill Seay served as the College's first and only dean until 2003 when Nancy Clark assumed the role. The third and current dean is Dr. Jonathan Earle who joined the university in 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.lsu.edu/ur/ocur/lsunews/MediaCenter/News/2014/05/item69956.html )〕 The Honors College was initially located in the Old President's House on Highland Road. The French House In 1999, the Honors College moved into the French House, Renaissance-style chateau originally constructed as a center for intensive study of the French language, literature, and culture.〔 The French House was dedicated on April 15, 1935, when French Ambassador André de Laboulaye traveled to Louisiana to celebrate LSU’s Diamond Jubilee. The French ambassador laid the structure’s cornerstone, which included a piece of wood from the original Fort de la Boulaye, the first French settlement in Louisiana. Ambassador François de Laboulaye, André de Laboulaye’s son, rededicated the building on April 3, 1981. The French House remains the only non-Quadrangle LSU structure on the National Register of Historic Places.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=LSU Honors’ home in disrepair )〕 Plans for renovating the French House have been set in motion as the University attempts to raise money through a major capital campaign.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=French House Renovation )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=LSU Honors’ home in disrepair )〕 Laville Honors House Located near the French House is the Laville Honors House, a residence hall for students enrolled in the College. The Laville Honors House includes an East Hall, West Hall, and central lobby. The East and West wings are mirror images of one another. Plans were approved by the Louisiana Board of Regents in 2008 to add of new space and renovate of existing residence hall space, which included expanding lounges and study space and providing for faculty residence on the first floor.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Facilities and Property Committee Minutes (PDF) )〕 The West Hall renovations were complete in fall 2010. The renovations of the East Hall and addition of a central lobby were completed in April 2012 at a cost of $14 million. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「LSU Honors College」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
