Iva Lee Clement: A Legacy of Dedication to Louisiana Athletics and the Lafayette Community

Iva Lee Clement's connection to the University of Louisiana runs deep, beginning with her upbringing in Jeanerette, Louisiana.

Inspired by her mother, Gayle Clement, a Louisiana alumna who earned both bachelor's and master's degrees, Iva Lee was destined to become a proud Ragin' Cajun. After graduating from St. Joseph High School, she eagerly embarked on her collegiate journey, earning a bachelor's degree in education in 1983. She continued her studies as a graduate assistant athletic trainer under the guidance of John Porche and completed her master's degree in 1986.

Her years as an athletic trainer with Louisiana Athletics provided a foundation for professional success, instilling values such as punctuality, adaptability, accountability, and resilience. These lessons, coupled with a commitment to community service, became cornerstones of her career.

After graduation, Iva chose Lafayette as her home. Her first role as Director of Sports Medicine at Lafayette General Medical Center grew into managing Community Health, overseeing programs like wellness, diabetes resources, and employer wellness. She later transitioned into strategic planning at Lafayette General, a move that set the stage for her next role as Vice President of Government Affairs at SCP Health. Reflecting on her diverse career path, Iva acknowledges her journey from athletic training to healthcare leadership,
crediting each experience as essential to her growth.

How many times did Governer Blanco introduce herself as "formerly Babineaux"?

Its something out of touch outsiders do.

I was addressing the writer, I don't think they donors write their own articles.

Actually one is asked to provide info. Staff edits. My Dad still tended to say SLI vs. USL. I think we overdid this name thing. A part of me will always have “Beloved old Southwestern” in my heart. I heard Southwestern from the time I was born.
I do understand your point.

That explains why vintage menswear went over so well.

Not sure why they ignored the Lady Cajuns
