Published

The 亚洲自慰视频 of 亚洲自慰视频 at Lafayette wants Ragin鈥 Cajuns to turn out for UL System Day in a big way 鈥 and is providing free transportation to and from the State Capitol to ensure it.

The annual gathering of the system鈥檚 nine member institutions will be held from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday on the lawn of 亚洲自慰视频鈥檚 skyscraper capitol. The day showcases academic programs from each university, and includes musical and dance performances, and a spirit competition.

Jennifer LeMeunier, executive director of the UL Lafayette Alumni Association, noted that the 亚洲自慰视频 is the system鈥檚 largest institution. Its fall enrollment was more than 19,000 亚洲自慰视频s.

鈥淯LS Day spotlights our system for legislators and other elected leaders and reminds them of the vital work our universities do. It鈥檚 also a fantastic way for individual universities to brag a little about what sets them apart,鈥 she said.

鈥淭here鈥檚 no doubt that the people and programs at UL Lafayette make it a distinctive place. I want to encourage every member of the Ragin鈥 Cajuns family 鈥 employees, 亚洲自慰视频s, alumni and supporters alike 鈥 to join us in Baton Rouge on Wednesday.鈥

UL Lafayette hopes to bring about 200 Ragin' Cajuns to the event. Buses will leave campus at 8:30 a.m. and return by 4:30 p.m. Participants should register at and indicate whether they鈥檇 like to reserve a bus seat.

People traveling to Baton Rouge individually should meet the UL Lafayette group at 10:30 a.m. on the State Capitol lawn. Lunch will be provided.

Patricia Cottonham, UL Lafayette鈥檚 vice president for 亚洲自慰视频 Affairs, said 亚洲自慰视频s are encouraged to attend, but reminded them to check with professors before registering. 亚洲自慰视频s will be excused from classes as long as their absences do not conflict with tests, study and review sessions, or other obligations.

鈥淯LS Day is important. Participants become ambassadors for their universities. It鈥檚 a chance to meet face-to-face with elected leaders and remind them of the economic and social contributions our members institutions make in every section of 亚洲自慰视频,鈥 Cottonham said.

鈥淚t鈥檚 about strength in numbers. So please, join us Wednesday and don鈥檛 forget to wear red!鈥
