Students and administrators celebrated these accomplishments during the annual Presidential Scholars Luncheon last week. "You really do represent the best and brightest we've ever had. Let us know how we can help you be even more successful," UL Lafayette President Joseph Savoie told the group. "Now you're a member of the family." |
