"This relationship signifies the sense of community that the Acadiana region has become known for," said Matt Tarver, UL Lafayette's assistant director for Trademark Licensing. Alums Lisa and Kevin Prejean of Prejean Creative developed the logos, which will appear on apparel, gift items and other merchandise. |

Still Shining |
The Louisiana BeauSoleil Solar Home is one project helping to spur New Orleans' solar industry. That's what Shephen Shelton said in a recent National Geographic article about Brad Pitt's Make It Right rebuilding program in the Big Easy. Shelton, head of a nonprofit that supports renewable energy development, said three happenings in 2007 helped the solar industry: UL Lafayette's invitation to build a solar home for the 2009 Solar Decathlon, a solar tax credit and New Orleans being named one of 25 Solar America Cities. The Louisiana BeauSoleil Solar Home went on to win the Market Viability and People's Choice awards in the 2009 competition. |
