Value-added Learning
|
|
| A group of UL Lafayette students received recognition for turning a service-learning grant from the UL System into some “green.” Environmentally-conscious students transformed a school bus into a mobile classroom. The RUN (Resourceful University Network) bus is designed to take discussions about clean energy, energy-efficient building strategies and community-based food production on the road.

Soul Searching
|
Nearly 150 recent high school grads are now Ragin’ Cajuns.
SOUL Camp introduced students to Service, Outreach, Unity and Leadership. They spent one day building some playground equipment at Lafayette Parish schools before heading to a campsite south of Alexandria.
There, they built relationships with upperclassmen and some dedicated faculty volunteers.

Do the Math

 Matt Desormeaux likes a challenge.
The starting fullback for Louisiana's Ragin' Cajuns® completed his academic requirements for a mathematics degree in four years – not always the norm for student-athletes competing in the top level of collegiate sports.
Now, he'll work on his master's degree while he completes his last season of eligibility on the football field.
The New Iberia native told the The Daily Iberian that obtaining his degree in four years was always part of his plan. |
