NATCHITOCHES – Funeral arrangements are incomplete for Dr. Larry E. Monk, executive director of Northwestern State University’s Leesville/Fort Polk campus, who died Thursday after a sudden illness.
Monk has been executive director of the Leesville/Fort Polk campus since 2003. Prior to becoming executive director, he was a faculty member on the Leesville/Fort Polk campus for almost 20 years.
“All of us in the Northwestern family are shocked and saddened at Larry’s sudden passing. He had a great love for students and worked extremely hard to provide educational opportunities for them,” said Northwestern President Dr. Randall J. Webb. “He did an exemplary job as executive director of the Leesville/Fort Polk campus and was admired and respected in the community. Our sympathy goes out to his family and friends.”
Monk was an instructor of education from 1999 until 2003, teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in education and educational leadership. From 1981 until 1996, he was an adjunct instructor, teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in computer science, education, educational leadership and educational psychology.
Monk was a teacher at West Leesville Elementary and Leesville High School before being named Vernon Parish’s curriculum director in 1981. In 1988, he was selected as assistant superintendent for curriculum, instruction, in-service and professional personnel. Monk held that position until 1999.
An alumnus of Northwestern, Monk received a bachelor’s degree, a master’s in business education and distributive education and a doctorate in secondary teaching, supervision and administration from NSU. He did additional post-doctoral study at UCLA, Peabody Teacher’s College of Vanderbilt University and Northeast Louisiana University.
