HOMECOMING: The New SBC, Alumni Association Spotlight & LOLTech

[CajunVic]

Just wanted to say what a amazing testimony at the end. I feel the same way I went to school back in the 90’s. Was a junior when we beat Texas A&M . I was the miracle story when I went to USL now UL. I did’nt go to high school dropped out in the 9th grade went back got my GED. Then after that one of my friends dad told me that go and take the entrance exam and by some miracle made a 18 and was accepted to go to USL at the time. Thank GOD for pell grants to pay for school with a lot of hard work was blessed to receive my degree in 2001. Took longer than most students but don’t care what I thought was an impossible dream became a reality and love my Louisiana with all my heart for giving me a chance twenty years ago. Just wanted to share how much I love and appreciate my university and my blessings that I received.

This is the type of story that I love to hear. Great work 2001. You should be highly commended for finding the vision after straying away. Glad Louisiana was a part of your success story.

Great Story and I too dropped out of HS after football season of my senor year. Took the GED a few months later, then the ACT, and then to USL.
5+ years later, I graduated, went to Law School, then the USMC, now NASA. Retired from USMCR after 35 years yesterday. IT CAN BE DONE. Yours sounds much more difficult then my path though. CONGRATULATIONS

Cudo's to you also, tdncz.

Awesome story. This is why I gave that testimony in that segment. Through our experiences at the university, we all have our own stories.

This is something that the AA and Foundation board has asked for but is not something any of those offices has control over. The implementations of allowing students to keep their @louisiana.edu email address falls under the office of University Advancement.

John are we still allowing non AA members into the tent if they pay a cover charge when they come in? I got that question yesterday and didn’t get to ask Tucker.

As far as I know, the school to the east does not let you keep email. When I completed graduate studies, the email went away a couple months later
