make an impact

LEAVE YOUR PRINT Roomie the lion Le Souvenir has been a keepsake to students who have graduated from Southeastern for many decades. Though the color and layout change from one edition to the next, the same purpose still remains; to showcase our students, everyday campus life and Lion athletics. More importantly, Le Souvenir aims to create a piece of work giving future alumnus a chance to recall some of their favorite events or memories on campus. Along with all the memories, Southeastern also leaves a small print on every student that passes through. Whether you were an organizational president, a student in lecture, a player on the field or a fan in the stands. No matter how big or small you feel your impact was, we have all left our print at Southeastern. Flip through to find yours.

MEGAN MCCORMICK Roomie leaves his mark all over campus, including his yellow paw prints in the road that lead to Strawberry Stadium. Southeastern’s Lion mascot was named Roomie in 1964 to honor, the late, Hollis “Roomie” Wilson. Roomie has since become, and remains, a major part of campus, athletic events, and school spirit at Southeastern.

Memorial Fountain

EMILY ERNEST The Katrina/Rita Memorial Fountain was dedicated in 2007 and has become a central feature of campus. The fountain’s pool features a water flow that rims the coastline; at timed intervals, the water bubbles up at the location of the two storm’s landfall to flood the coastline, then recedes. It symbolizes the hardships and challenges that many students, faculty and staff faced as the two storms made their paths across the Gulf coast.

Alumni Bricks

MEGAN MCCORMICK The alumni bricks that cover the paths through Friendship Circle are a part of Project Friendship. This project provides alumni with the opportunity to leave a lasting mark on the University’s campus. A single brick can be purchased for $100 and a double brick can be purchased for $250. All of the proceeds from the purchases go to Southeastern’s Annual Fund, scholarships, technology, student recruitment and campus improvements.

Angel of discovery

CARLEY DUET Campus’ eight-foot statue named, “Angel of Discovery,” was carved from Carrara marble by Russian sculptor Alexei E. Kazantsev. With the help of Southeastern student David Herrington of Covington, the statue was installed on June 11, 2001 on the west side of the sculpture garden, next to McGehee Hall. The statue was originally going to be named “Nike” after the Greek goddess of victory, but was changed to “Angel of Discovery” because people discover things on campus and in doing so, “they learn,” stated Kazantsev.

TO SUCCEED A new co-curricular program has been added to the Lion Pride. The Mane Experience is designed to acclimate freshmen to life as a college student by giving them all the experiences that the university has to offer. The purpose of the program is to show students the importance of academic success, personal health and wellness, student engagement and Lion pride. Deciding on how to embark on one’s journey at a university is no easy task. This is why Ms. Angela James saw the need for such a program. “College is one of the most transformative journeys a young adult will make,” said Angela James, director of student engagement and disability affairs. “By enhancing the learning experience outside of the classroom, we have the opportunity to help students build lasting relationships.” The Mane Experience’s website gives students direct links to resources such as the offices of Student Engagement, Financial Aid, University Housing, Dining Services, Center for Student Excellence, Campus Happenings, Campus Services, Textbook Rental, the Student Handbook and provides a map of the campus. Since the program was a collaboration of multiple departments, students are made aware of how each department on campus is there to help them with their collegiate needs. For instance, a link on the Mane Experience website for The Center for Student Excellence takes students directly to information on free tutoring and locations for chemistry, physics, and math classes. This initiative has been incorporated into incoming students’

Southeastern 101 course that encourages them to check-in at certain events on campus, attend an organization browse and download apps that qualify them for giveaway items such as T-shirts, cups, lanyards and more. Students can check for updates, announcements, giveaways and activities from The Mane Experience through Instagram, Twitter and Facebook accounts. Freshman criminal justice major, Jordan Cosey, says: “I appreciate the Mane Experience because it gets students involved with events on campus. I know a lot more about Southeastern than I probably would have without it.” So far, the program has seen promising results, as Fall 2017 is the pilot semester. In the near future, the program will be working with the Hammond Chamber of Commerce to extend beyond campus and show students the best of what the city of Hammond has to offer, making them feel at home while away from home. As students make their print on the university, these tools will assist them in reaching their maximum potential. With motivational social media posts such as “Dreams don’t work unless you do,” “Keep up the good work,” and “You may have stopped believing in Santa Clause, but he never stopped believing in you,” the Mane team strives to keep students motivated throughout their journey.

unique, sweet

ROLLED TO EAT Dion Grossnickle, one of the owners of North Cypress Fitness and a 1996 alumnus with a sports management degree, has recently opened a shop in downtown, Hammond along with partners Olaf Ross and Richard Henry, called Sweet Rolls. “Sweet Rolls is a unique concept,” said Grossnickle. “It’s a blend of a couple different types of sweets and treats. The first thing, what we’ve so far been known for, is our rolled ice cream. We use this Thai-type ice cream a little different. We use our house-made creams, and we add crème and glaze to it. It’s full of really good stuff versus just doing an instant powder based ice cream mix. So, we’re doing a richer ice cream compared to what a lot of the places that do a rolled ice cream use.” Sweet Rolls is not just rolled ice cream though. “We also do other things,” said Grossnickle. “We do Italian gelato, house-baked cookies and scones. We also do a signature house-baked cinnamon roll that’s topped with the customer’s choice of pralines, pecans or banana fosters. So, we do multiple things other than just rolled ice cream.” Exercise and ice cream both create endorphins according to Grossnickle, bridging the gap between these two seemingly different businesses for the owners of Sweet Rolls. “I’ve been looking at this trendy rolled ice cream thing for a while, a little over a year,” said Grossnickle. “I’ve been in the health club industry for 26 years. I did it through college to now with North Cypress Fitness and Cypress 24/7. It just so happened I was looking on social media a year ago and saw this unique thing happening around the world and said, ‘Well, this may be a really neat thing to bring to Hammond.’ The neat thing is, ice cream is good for the soul. Our health clubs are good for the body, but we’re about putting smiles on people’s faces.” According to Grossnickle, Sweet Rolls decided to open in Hammond due to its uniqueness. “We decided Hammond, specifically downtown Hammond, because there’s no other place like it anywhere in the New Orleans area or the Northshore,” said Grossnickle. “Hammond just has a

unique feeling to it. There’s so many cool places now, restaurants and salons. It’s just a really cool place. So, we thought it was a perfect fit for what we wanted to do.” Grossnickle credited the Downtown Development District for doing an “incredible job at creating this downtown area to where it is the place to go.” “This was a ghost town back when I graduated,” said Grossnickle. “Now it’s a hip place. We have so many people actually coming from St. Tammany Parish to come here and enjoy downtown Hammond. That’s never happened. People would leave Tangipahoa Parish to go to St. Tammany Parish to eat and go out and shop, and now they’re coming here, which is kind of cool.” Grossnickle said he is looking forward to participating in downtown events and festivals. “That was one of the main reasons we came here,” said Grossnickle. “I moved from St. Tammany Parish to Tangipahoa Parish myself, and it was really cool. I could bring my family, I have two young children, to enjoy those things. Now we’ll be part of it, which is kind of fun. I enjoy them all. I just love the feeling of coming downtown and having thousands of people walking around and enjoying themselves.” The interior design of Sweet Rolls was carefully thought out to provide an idiosyncratic atmosphere. “The decor is really cool,” said Grossnickle. “We really thought through everything and the way we wanted to build it. The tables, are pieces of cypress from the Manchac Swamp, and the doors that we have hanging for decor, are from an old house in Ponchatoula. So, I think the uniqueness and the music is a little different. It has sort of a retro but classical and old school feel to it. The main thing is our customers get to experience fresh ice cream that they’ve never had before made right in front of them from scratch.” STORY BY: ANNIE GOODMAN DESIGN BY: MEGAN MCCORMICK

LEADERS High school students across the state of Louisiana attended the university’s high school leadership conference “EvolveU” where they learned to enhance their leadership skills. The conference was held on Friday, Mar. 9 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the War Memorial Student Union. The conference began with an opening ceremony featuring President Dr. John L. Crain and keynote speaker Olympic medalist Hollis Conway. Conway shared his reasons on why he agreed to speak to the students. “I think everyone has a responsibility to give a little bit back and make the world a better place,” said Conway. “And what they’re doing here at Southeastern is incredible. It’ll make a difference in not only the lives of these kids but in the future.” Conway wants students to realize how important they are to society when it comes to planning their future. “I want them to take away a couple of things,” said Conway. “That they are important, that they’re valuable, and that they have the ability to make a difference and that they have the responsibility to make a difference.” Participating students were able to attend a workshop of their choice where they learned skills on how to deal with leadership. “EvolveU” started many years ago and was picked up after a hiatus. Vice President of the Student Government Association Richard Davis Jr. credited Vice President for Student Affairs Dr. Eric Summers for bringing back the conference. “It used to be a yearly event that Southeastern used to put on,” said Davis. “It was just a leadership conference, and it was open to high schoolers and Southeastern students. But after a while, it just kind of got fazed out. So, as you know, we got a new Vice President for Student Affairs Dr. Summers and one of his main goals was to bring back that Southeastern conference.” According to Davis, Summers not only wanted to bring the event back, but he also wanted to make a few changes to what it was known for previously. “He wanted to gear it just towards high school sophomores, juniors and seniors,” said Davis. “He didn’t want it to be like a recruiting event for Southeastern. He just wanted to contribute to the leadership development of high schoolers. That’s where the vision started.”

Davis explained that to put his plan into motion, Summers contacted Coordinator of Multicultural and International Student Affairs Marjorie Parker. “Marjorie reached out to us and asked did we want to join the conference,” said Davis. “That’s pretty much how it started. We started meeting every other week on Thursdays to brainstorm ideas, and we got assigned to different sub committees.” Broadmoor High junior Iveth Umana who attended the “Lighting the Torch: Igniting Action in Yourself & Others” and “Different Does Not Mean Wrong” workshops shared what she enjoyed about “I like both of the meetings I went to because it taught me how to be open-minded and that I have to let new people in because letting people actually brings advantages to your own life,” said Umana. “You can grow personally, and it can help you mentally. You learn to work with other people, and it always brings advantages to your own life for the better.” Umana also stated that she would recommend any of her friends to attend because there is a lot one can learn. “You grow as a person,” said Umana. “It just expands your brain to think more and be open minded and to just create friends.” Riverside Academy senior Sharon Orellana attended the “How to be a Leader, Not a Drill Seargent” and expressed her opinion on the workshop. “Trust and communication is a major foundation in any work ethic environment whether it’s in a business or maintaining friendships with anybody,” said Orellana. Davis explained how students participating in “EvolveU” are benefitted. “The ultimate goal is to try to recruit as many students, not just high school leaders, but also the students who are looking to be leaders,” said Davis. “So, what they hope to gain from this is just coming here to network with other student leaders in the state of Louisiana and surrounding states to kind of just collaborate, share techniques and also have the opportunity to hear from some of our Southeastern student leaders and pick up tips from them. We want to just contribute to the overall leadership development of high school students.” sTOrY BY: THE LiOn’s rOar sTaFF DEsiGn BY: MEGan MCCOrMiCk

roaring along side th e

NEW KING AND QUEEN On a cold Saturday night in Strawberry Stadium, seven couples marched down the field at halftime with hopes of becoming the crowned royalty of the university, but only one beau and sweetheart would take the throne. On October 28, senior Sports Management majors, Mattie Hawkins and Bryce Carpenter, were crowned the 2017 Homecoming Queen and King. Hawkins, a Baton Rouge native, felt an indescribable rush of adrenaline and feelings of disbelief, as the crown was placed upon her head. “My feet felt like bricks. All I could do was smile and say to myself was ‘Mattie you did it. Mattie, you actually won.’ It wasn’t until two weeks later it hit me that I was Homecoming Queen.” Hawkins is President of the Nu Delta Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. and is also involved in many other organizations on campus. She is a Project Pull (Promoting Unity through Leadership and Learning) mentor, a student worker for the office of disability services and a Special Olympics intern. Hawkins feels that her many roles on campus and her cheerful personality are what make her the perfect fit for the throne. “Being an imperfect campus leader made me fit for the throne. I think my genuineness and personality played a big part in me winning.” On the road to becoming Homecoming Queen, there were many challenges and lessons to learn. Hawkins claims that hope and faith brought her victory home. “What God has for you, is for you. Always keep a smile on your face even when you feel things aren’t going in your favor. Worry ends when faith begins.” If there was a chance to do it all over again, Hawkins feels that she wouldn’t change anything. She encourages others who are thinking about running for court, in years to come, by giving tips and advice from her experience. “If I could do it all over again, I wouldn’t change anything. Win, lose or draw I enjoyed the whole experience. If you’re interested in running for homecoming court do it. Go all out and have no regrets. Don’t just have the mindset of being on the court. Have the mindset of I’m going to make court and I’m going to be homecoming queen. You also must work for it. Faith without work is dead. Remain humble throughout the entire process.” Bryce Carpenter crowned Homecoming King, is an O’Fallon, Illinois native. He shares some of the things he endured and overcame during the campaign leading to the crown.

The newly crowned Homecoming King and Queen Bryce Carpenter and Mattie Hawkins are pictured with President John L. Crain, left, and President of the Alumni Association Brad Stevens, right. This year’s royals created catchy hashtags, #CallonCarpenter and #HandledwithHawkins, along the campaign trail.

“I had to balance out my full-time job, organizational involvement and studies, all while trying campaign and get to as many people as I could on campus.” As the crown was placed on Carpenter, he was eager to call his family and announce his victory. “I immediately wanted to call my family and tell them I won. My family had arrived in Louisiana, after a ten-hour drive, the morning they moved back the first homecoming, so they decided not to come the second one because it was too much of a hassle to drive back again. I honestly didn’t know how to feel though. It didn’t feel real.” Carpenter believes his involvement on campus and his will to network with others made him fit for the thrown. Carpenter is a part of many organizations on campus such as: Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc., the Sports Management Association and is a SGA (Student Government Association) Senator. Carpenter has served as a member of the 2016-2017 Student Technology Fee Committee and as a tour guide for the Office of Admissions. “I am very involved on campus. The day I stepped foot on Southeastern’s campus I didn’t know anyone. I was 10 hours away from home, but I made the most out of my lion experience. I met as many people as I could and joined different organizations on campus.” Carpenter feels becoming homecoming royalty makes you an asset to lion history. “I have learned how much I truly love Southeastern. I have learned once you become homecoming king you are forever embedded into lion history. My sister won homecoming queen in 2011, so our family will make homecoming a yearly trip.”

The university chose its 57th Miss Southeastern and awarded her with one year’s tuition, the local Miss America Crown, a $1,000 clothing allowance, an opportunity to compete in Miss Louisiana and a dozen gold roses. The winner will be representing the university in many campus and community events during her year of reign. Miss Southeastern 2017 Kristyn Gary attended the competition where she answered questions from the Masters of Ceremonies and expressed thankfulness to the university. Gary also crowned Alyssa Larose as Miss Southeastern 2018. “Thank you to Southeastern for giving me this opportunity,” said Gary. “It was an honor to represent this university.” The Campus Activities Board conducted the annual Miss Southeastern Louisiana University pageant on Friday, Dec. 1 at D Vickers’ Vonnie Borden Theatre at 7 p.m. 11 participants competing in the pageant performed a group dance, presented their talent, had a private interview, answered on-stage questions and presented an evening gown during the competition. The participants were judged based on their interview, fitness, talent, evening wear and on-stage questions. The winner of the People’s Choice Award was Corley Chutz, and she was also the recipient of the Lifestyle and Fitness award. Rebecca Nuss received the SGA Academic Award. Jessica Thonn was awarded the Miss Congeniality Award and was the second runner up. Annie Goodman received the Miracle Maker Award and was the first runner up. Larose, in addition to winning Miss Southeastern, also received the talent award. Student coordinator for the Campus Activities Board McKenzie Tolson explained how Larose will become involved in activities throughout her reign. “She is gonna be very busy for the next year,” said Tolson. “We have set ups, where she will have lots of appearances around

campus, at sporting events, at CAB events, and getting ready for Miss Louisiana, which is going to be in June. It’s going to be hard, but I think she is going to do a really good job at it.” Larose is a sophomore special education major and performed tap dance in the talent round. She is excited for her coming year. “It feels great. I honestly didn’t expect it. I am super excited and can’t wait for this year, ” said Larose. “I am really excited to go to Miss Louisiana and represent our amazing university. I am really excited that the first runner up was Annie Goodman, my good friend from the Student Publications office.” Larose, whose platform is “Juvenile Diabetes AwarenessEducate and Find a Cure” wants to work with CAB to put on a juvenile diabetes awareness walk later in the year. Goodman shared what she has learned from the competition. “Stay true to you, and people will love it,” said Goodman. “I had so many people come up to me after the pageant giving me hugs and taking pictures. People I have never met before come up and tell me I was their inspiration because I was me, and I didn’t let that go. And I learned that it’s okay to be me. That’s not something I thought very much, but tonight after being through the pageant, I have learned that it’s OK to be you. Be you, and you will love it.” Thonn is a psychology major and has participated in other pageants before. Excited about being the second runner-up for the pageant, she shared what such competitions have taught her. “It’s taught me to be patient,” said Thonn. “It’s taught me public speaking, and it definitely taught me to slow down my pace because sometimes I tend to go a little bit off the handle.” STORY BY: BRESHON FOSTER DESIGN BY: MEGAN MCCORMICK

journey o f a

ROLE MODEL As the Dr. LaVanner S. Brown Role Model of The Year Award was announced, junior social work major Cedric Dent Jr. admits he was shocked as he arose from his seat in the back of the ballroom. He proudly accepted his award with a feeling of gratitude but also an understanding that there is still much more work to be done. “Life is a journey, not a race. So many rush to finish college, but if you enjoy the journey’s opportunities, doors will open for you,” said Dent. The 2018 Division for Student Affairs Awards Convocation hilighted students who exhibited outstanding levels of achievement in leadership and campus involvement. Dent’s involvement on campus has been apart of his journey leading up to being named Role Model of The Year. His freshman year he was named “Project P.U.L.L. Rising Star,” and many other opportunities opened up after this point. He moved up to be on the leadership team and eventually became the twoyear coordinator of Project P.U.L.L. Dent began his journey as an orientation leader in the spring of 2016. Since then, he has held leadership positions in the Student Government Association, Project P.U.L.L., Order of Omega and Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated. His reputation and hard work in each of these organizations have not gone unnoticed leading him to this award. “I feel extremely proud, and also I’m extremely shocked”, said Dent. “You never know what you’re doing when you’re going through the process.”

Academic achievement is just as important as his campus involvement. Dent attributes where he is today to developing a spiritual life and working twice as hard each year as he has done in the previous one. Dent is leaving his print on the university community. He believes that his work speaks for itself as he remains humble in light of all the acknowledgment. Several pictures of Dent working with students can be found on, just about, all social media accounts for the university’s leading organizations. Being involved creates a sense of belonging, which turns into motivation to maintain good academic standing, which is just one of the reasons Dent is an advocate of involvement combined with scholasticism. Working so closely with the students he mentors is another source of inspiration to him. As the coordinator of Project P.U.L.L., Dent dedicates his work to increase the graduation rate of African American males at university. As drop-out rates steadily increase, Dent fights the statistic by being an example of campus involvement for the Project P.U.L.L. mentees. He hopes his legacy stands for future students to replicate. “Work and perfect your craft, day by day,” said Dent. “That’s the only way to get better at being you and helping others.” STORY BY: CHANDLER GREEN DESIGN BY: MEGAN MCCORMICK

The College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences is made up of many different departments: the Department of English, Department of History and Political Science, Department of Languages and Communication, Department of Music and Performing Arts, Department of Psychology, Department of Sociology and Criminal Justice, Department of Visual Art + Design and the General Studies Program. Some students go above and beyond their studies in the classroom. Damian Boldt, undergraduate political science major studied abroad at the London School of Economics. When asked how Boldt found out about the school, he shared that he was looking for something to do over the summer. Many of the study abroad programs offered by the university conflicted with his schedule. However, after a thorough search for a program with some flexibility, Boldt discovered that the well-known university in London was Europe’s largest summer school. All of Boldt’s hard work paid off the moment he realized that he was one of 6 out of a total of 60 students in his class to earn an A in the course. “I couldn’t believe it at first,” said Boldt. “I went because they placed your little ID next to the score so that you do not know the name of the person, so I was sitting there matching up the letters making sure that I really did get an A. Anytime you get an A at a school like that, one of the top 5 schools in the world for Political Science, it of course is very special.” Boldt had classes with students from all over the world, but was

awed to be studying with students from very prestigious colleges in the United States. “I sat back and saw that I was in groups with people from Yale and Harvard, these really really good schools.” Boldt said, “To make as good a grade in that class, it really made me so much more thankful for the school that we are. I firmly believe that the teachers that I have had here from the time that I was a freshman to just completing my junior year when I went, and for them to prepare me to that level, made me really appreciate the work that we do.” The College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences offers a variety of opportunities for students to study abroad. If this seems like something that would interest you, contact an advisor to learn more. Overall, Boldt’s experience in London was one to remember. “It opened up a lot of potential doors,” said Boldt. “It broadened what I thought were my possibilities.” Boldt remains thankful for the program in the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences. He believes that the department creates opportunities for students to embark on real life experiences.

MOTION Freshman Business Administration major Z’Noah Broyard, starts his own brand, Otion Bleu, on Jan. 1, 2018. The business coined the slogan “Motion in the Otion” on March 1, 2018. Broyards’ brand promotes unity and diversity through the arts. “The purpose of Otion Bleu is to bring together people of diﬀerent backgrounds and ethnicities by photography, videography and design,” said Broyard. The unique name Otion Bleu was inspired by Broyard’s creativity for design and his New Orleans Cajun roots. “I chose Otion because it allows me to do diﬀerent designs for my clothing,” said Broyard. “Any word that ends in ‘otion’ can be implemented into a design. I chose ‘bleu’ because of my hometown, New Orleans. It’s a part of the Cajun culture.” According to Broyard, he was inspired to start the brand to honor his deceased older brother. He strives for his business to be the symbol of togetherness and creativity. “My oldest brother went by this saying, ‘Everybody needs to unite and join together’,” said Broyard. “When I lost him, I wanted to follow in his footsteps some type of way. It made me join the entertainment industry. Everything that my brother did, inspired me. He was an artist. He did tattoos, murals and paintings. Pretty much everything my brother did had to do with everybody coming together.”

Broyard expresses how attending the university has opened many doors for him as a business man. “Southeastern has allowed me to branch off and experience different things,” said Broyard. “Not too long ago, I got into the newspaper, and now I have the opportunity to be in the yearbook. Southeastern has given me a lot of opportunities to promote Otion Bleu.” Broyard hopes that Otion Bleu will become his way to break into the big business world. Broyard shares insight on future plans for Otion Bleu and a backup plan. “That’s what I would like, but I do have backup plans just in case,” said Broyard. “I want to own a couple of apartment complexes and I want to also buy a coffee business that my boss said he would sell to me. My future plans are to travel all around the world and have events that people come together for and have a good time.” Broyard has participated in two pop up shops on campus. The first popup shop was on March 22, 2018 and the second was on April 30, 2018. At the pop-up shop, Broyard set up a table displaying Otion Bleu’s T-shirts and his personal business card for networking. STORY BY: BRESHON FOSTER DESIGN BY: MEGAN MCCORMICK

EDUCATION The College of Education is working towards offering more real-world experience to their teacher candidates to better prepare them for their own classrooms. They started this process in Fall 2016 with only a few volunteer undergraduate students. In the Fall 2017 semester, all elementary education majors, special education majors and middle school education majors became part of this pilot residency program. Now, the Louisiana State Department of Education is requiring all teacher preparation programs to implement a year-long residency student teaching experience. This new residency program was designed to incorporate student teaching along with students’ senior methods to create a year-long student teaching experience. The teacher candidate will now develop more knowledge and skills before graduation. “Southeastern’s college of education wanted to be a pioneer of this change along with the guidance of former dean Dr. Shirley Jacob and current field experience coordinator Dr. Heloise Aucoin, who helped to create this program at our university,” said Dr. Stefanie Sorbet. Right now, if a teacher candidate enters his or her senior capstone methods in the fall semester, they will participate in the two-semester residency program. If the teacher candidate enters in the spring semester, they will take a field experience placement in their senior capstone methods course and then the one semester of student teaching. The college of education is making this transition so that teacher candidates, who take their senior capstone methods in either semester will be able to participate in the two-semester residency program without having issues. “We are working through the university’s procedures for changing the curriculum for the programs,” said Dr. Susan Zimlich. “So in a few semesters, all teacher candidates in all education programs will have the two-semester residency experience.” The two-semester residency program cannot be simulated on campus. The residents experience interactions with parents of the students do grade level planning, and train in the school. Student teacher candidates are more prepared for their own classroom after the two-semester residency program. “I love it because I can see the growth from August to January

to May in my student teacher candidates,” said Dr. Tish Walters. “They get the preparation they need to have their own classroom, and they have a year under their belt with their mentor teacher guiding them.” During the first semester of residency, the State Department requires residents to spend 80 percent of their instructional time in the local public schools along with taking their capstone methods course. The residents have some responsibilities with his or her mentor teacher such as co-teaching, lesson planning, logging in field experience hours in an activity log and keep a dialogue journal with comments between them and their mentor teacher. This new two-semester residency program allows the residents more time working directly with students. In addition to working directly with students, the residents get to discuss different strategies with their assigned faculty members in their capstone methods course. Originally, the methods course required 40 hours of teaching experience, usually done with pairs of teacher candidates working together. Now, the teacher candidates are able to be in the same classroom for several months working one-onone with the classroom teacher. The residents also get to experience how the children act from day one to how they change over the course of the year. “As an instructor and site coordinator, I have heard my residents say that they really value this experience because they really feel ready to have their own classroom,” said Zimlich. “I have also heard school district administration say how invested they are in these residents and that they want to keep them in their district because they have trained this new teacher.” The residency program covers the universities five surrounding districts for their residents to student teach at. The residency pilot program has grown over the past three years and each year it advances a little more. With the college of education being ahead of the game, this residency program will continue to grow and advance, making its residents more prepared after graduation.

HEALTH The College of Nursing and Health Sciences is one of the university’s largest colleges on campus. With more than 100 agency partnerships and over 3,700, students receive diverse practice in their fields. These practice experiences can take place anywhere from a classroom, clinical setting or clinic internships. The ultimate goal is to prepare graduates for real world scenarios. Students are supplied with resources they need to be successful inside and outside of the classroom. The university was the first in Louisiana to have a degree in Health Promotion, Athletic Training and Sports Management. “The College of Nursing and Health Sciences has grown tremendously,” said Department Head of Kinesiology and Health Studies, Dr. Edward Hebert. “It used to be the College of Nursing before other degree programs were combined with the college.” The college has various organizations that help promote wellness among the campus and the community such as the University Health Center, Recreational Sports and Wellness, University Counseling Center and Southeastern Athletics. The College of Nursing and Health Sciences began as a small sector of the university. Many of the degree programs added to the College of Nursing and Health Sciences began as part of the College of Education, then a much bigger college. Degree programs such as Health and Physical Education (Teacher Education), Counseling and Consumer Sciences were all linked to the “College of Education and Human Development.” The Department of Kinesiology and Health Studies makes up over 1,000 of the students who are linked to the College of Nursing and Health Sciences. The department offers resources to students such as swimming and aquatics courses as well as a variety of activity-based kinesiology lab courses that are open to students of any major. “We teach a lot of classes that are open to all students,” said Hebert. “Lots of students who are not our majors take them. There is rarely a time that I will teach a class that has all students of the same major.”

The Department of Kinesiology and Health Studies also hosts the “ASK KHS Symposium” every year for its students. It is a day-long professional development for students that features presentations by professionals in careers associated with their degree programs as well as an internship fair. The sessions provided are open ended and include something that as professionals believe students should take to heart. The Department of Kinesiology and Health Studies also plans to partner with the REC to add a class, KINL 220, that allows students to receive certification in Personal Fitness Training. The class will be built in as an academic part of students’ curriculum, and used for credit towards their degree. Furthermore, it will allow students to have a certification so they may work before graduating. “The class will be considered a kinesiology lab elective,” said Hebert. “Students have to take 3 labs, and this will now be one option for them.” Students will spend time learning from personal trainers in the Rec, developing knowledge and skills related to personal training and to passing the exam for ACE Personal Trainer. This will allow students to build experience and confidence before stepping foot into the work field. There will be no prerequisites for this course. The course will be open for students to take immediately. Fall 2018 will be the pilot semester for this course, and students are encouraged to take this as a lab. The addition of this course to become a certified trainer is only a step away. Furthermore, it’s one more certification to add on to students’ degree. The Kinesiology and Health Studies Department invites students to make a difference and leave their print on campus before ever leaving.

NEW HEIGHTS The College of Science and Technology offers students a plethora of resources for future success. Within the college are two branches: Computer Science, and Industrial & Engineering Technology. There are 11 degree programs that give students to a personalized hands-on experience as well as the opportunity to perform research studies. A degree from the College of Science and Technology ensures a chance to compete for the best jobs in the nation and also a chance to pursue a post-graduate career. The College of Science and Technology offers a degree in biological sciences, computer science and industrial technology chemistry and physics and mathematics. The department of biological sciences offers coursework in a variety of disciplines with well-funded research programs that serve more than 12,000 students in modern facilities and 900 full-time professors. A few department specialities consist of creating concentrations in business, plant science, ecology/ environmental, molecular biology, integrative biology and science education. The Turtle Cove Environmental Research Station gives biology students the opportunity to get the hands-on experiences necessary for field success, in addition to the department’s study abroad program in Costa Rica. The labs are available for students to perfect their craft and start on or finish research projects. In addition to relevant coursework and unique experiences, students are awarded various scholarships and paid internships. The competitive and hardworking students is a large part of why the College of Science and Technology is successful. The faculty and staff that reside here are “internationally recognized.” Along with the high tech classrooms and new student-focused labs, there are a great deal of senior research projects for students to choose from each year. Seniors Jordan Malonson, Dylan Landry and Miguel Rodriguez are working on a GPS navigation system in which they have created an app that allows a locomotive to autonomously drive. The students have spent the entire year working on this project, in which they have

experienced the talent of professors at the university. Professor Mohammed Saadeh is one of the accredited individuals that works closely with students to achieve new heights in their research and data collection. The Department of Chemistry and Physics recently received over $362,000 to purchase a gas chromatic-mass spectrometer, which allows for select mixtures of chemicals to be separated, identified and quantified. Within this department, there is a special emphasis on undergraduate studies that will carry wellequipped students through future studies. Senior, Pankaj Sherchan has achieved three years of experience in the field of software development. “There are so many people that start as a mathematics majors initially, but they end up not continuing because they feel there aren’t career opportunities,”said Sherchan. This was disapproved when Sherchan stated that out of the multiple research projects he had worked on, he had the opportunity to attend CCSC, South Central Conference 2018, at Texas Christian University for one of them. He created a simulation and modeling of multiple component structures using a Modified B-spline Basis. This research was supervised by Dr. Lisa Kuhn and was successful at the Spring 2018 conference. “The mission of the department of mathematics is to provide an appropriate mathematical course of study for all students enrolled at Southeastern Louisiana University,” said Kuhn. With the creation of two departments, Computer Science and Industrial Technology, the college is offering eager students more opportunities than ever. Each of these divisions has so much to offer students, with cutting-edge information and the best of the best professors, students are fully equipped to pave the way for their future. The opportunities run just as high as the dreams here at Southeastern. STORY BY: CHANDLER GREEN DESIGN BY: MEGAN MCCORMICK

COMMUNITY Several alumni were honored for their outstanding achievements at the Alumni Awards Evening. The event was held in the Student Union Ballroom and was attended by current President Dr. John Crain, former university presidents, mayor of Hammond Pete Panepinto, board of directors and members of the Alumni Association, recipients of the award, their families, SGA President Seth Leto and staff representing various departments of the university. “In the year 1927, the Alumni Association was founded to preserve and strengthen the bonds of friendship existing among former students and in order to promote the growth of the university,” said Executive Director of Alumni Relations Michelle Biggs. The program began with Miss Southeastern Kristyn Gary singing the alma mater and went on with recognizing the honorees. Crain expressed how he believes the alumni has been responsible for the growth of the university. “This is always a really special evening to me,” said Crain. “I do wanna share with you that I genuinely believe that all of us who are Southeastern graduates have a lifelong obligation to help ensure that our university and our alumni continues to be a strong institution.” The alumnus of the year was Dr. William T. Cefalu, chief scientific, medical and mission officer at the American Diabetes Association. Crain toasted the first recipient of the night. “To those who’ve come before us, to those who are yet to join us, to Dr. William T. Cefalu, the distinguished alumnus of the year, and to the Southeastern alumni everywhere, Lion pride forever,” said Crain. The Loyal Lion Award was presented to Southeastern Foundation Board member Joseph Laquet for demonstrating lifelong support to the university. Crain spoke about Laquet’s achievements. “He’s always focused on how he can help support the university,” said Crain. “You are truly a loyal lion.” The Friendship Oak Award was presented to Ralph Shaw, a 1961 graduate with a bachelor’s degree in chemistry, who sponsors the Ralph and Nancy Shaw Endowed Scholarship, that help nontraditional students with educational achievement. The other recipient was Janet Moran, a 1986 bachelor’s graduate, 1989 master’s graduate and previous member of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority. The honors were presented by President-Elect of Alumni Association Beth Ebberman. The recipient of the L.E. Chandler Award was Larry Hymel and was presented by Past President of Alumni Relations and former mayor Mayson Foster. Hymel is currently the alumni athletic coordinator at the university and was also recently awarded with Lion for Life Award by the Athletic Association. The Distinguished Alumni Award for the College of the Arts,

Humanities and Social Sciences went to Professor of philosophy Barbara Forrest. The College of Business award went to Robert “Bobby” Yarborough, CEO and co-owner of Manda Fine Meats. The College of Education award recipient was Albert J. Bodker, retired principal at Ponchatoula High School. Monica Nijoka, Chief Nursing Officer at Baton Rouge General Medical Center, received the Distinguished Alumni Award from the College of Nursing and Health Sciences. The award for the College of Science and Technology went to President at Systems Integration/Modeling and Simulation, Inc. Eugene R. London, Jr. The Wong family received the Kathy L. Pittman Distinguished Service Award, named after former alumni director. The family of entrepreneurs was awarded for charity work and voluntarily supporting the university and the community as a whole. Three out of five brothers, John, James and Frank Wong received the award on the behalf of the family. Towards the end of the program, Alumni Association President Brad Stevens handed the Young Alumnus of the Year Award to Attorney at Law at The Toney Law Office, LLC Charles “Chuck” Toney, Jr. The program also recognized six Southeastern Alumni Association Endowed Scholarship recipients, service recognition scholarship recipient and the Southeastern Room scholarship recipient. “It feels really honoring,” said Cameryn Faulkner, recipient of the Alumni Association Endowed Scholarship. “All the hard work I have put in during the past couple of years is getting recognized. It’s good to see the alumni come up and support their students.” Hymel, who retired this, past December from the position of the athletic coordinator, shared his thoughts on the award. “I have been associated with the university for fifty-one years,” said Hymel. “It’s been a tremendous honor. I don’t know what else to say. It’s just been wonderful.” Cefalu shared his thoughts on being the alumnus of the year. “Despite what I do on a daily basis, I’ve never forgotten the fact that every step of my career started here at Southeastern, and that is something I will always be grateful for,” said Cefalu. “With all the awards I’ve received in honor, I must be honest with you, this one is the most special. I cannot thank you enough.” Biggs concluded the program by sharing her thoughts on the contribution of the alumni. “One final congratulations to all of our award winners,” said Biggs. “It’s graduates like you that we rely on to uphold the traditions and commitment of this great university.” STORY BY: PRAKRITI ADIHAKARI DESIGN BY: MEGAN MCCORMICK

CHALLENGES This year’s soccer season was a little different compared to those in the past. The 2017 season started off with a new Head Coach Christopher McBride. With an overall season of five wins, ten losses and three ties, the team had some time to grow and learn with their new head coach. Having a losing season is not something that the Lady Lions are not used to. When asked how the season went, McBride expressed the many challenges they had coming in as a new coaching staff. They had to learn how to play with new teammates and a new coach. This did not stop them from building close relationships with each other and their coaches. “It went well,” said McBride. “We have a lot of challenges coming in as a new coaching staff. There is always going to be challenges, you got players who have been recruited by a previous coach that have bought into a different philosophy and different style of play. So, for us, we came in and we wanted to make sure that we are all on the same page.” The team understood that this season was a growing season. They took their loses as opportunities to grow. “I usually look back on things that I could have changed or could have fixed,” said junior defender Christina Cutura. “Coach even lets us come in for film and critiques us.” Cutura ended the season with one goal and two assists. The players even talked about what they do as individuals to get themselves ready for the game. “I prefer to dance and sing to country sounds,” said

Olsson. To get themselves ready for a game, the players sing and dance to music to get pumped up. “We usually go to the locker room and jam to some music, and you know just get in the zone,” said Cutura. “Everyone has their own goals. Sometimes coach sets goals of what we have to accomplish throughout the game and that’s kind of our focus.” The Lady Lions may not have made it to the tournament this season, but they did have a great season getting to know each other and their new coach. According to junior forward, Sofia Olsson, she really enjoyed playing under McBride this season. “I really like his coaching style,” said Olsson. “It’s what I am used to from back home and it’s what I think will help us win in the long run. A lot of different players are trying to play together.” Cutura describes what changes she made following working under a new coach. “There were different styles of play, just trying to get used to coaches playing style and adjusting to what his goals are for us,” said Cutura. Even though this season was not the best the Lady Lions have seen, it allowed the players and the coach to grow as a team. It allowed them to understand each other so that next season, they will be able to dominate. STORY BY: EMILY ERNEST DESIGN BY: MEGAN MCCORMICK

NEW CHAPTER The Lady Lions began with a crude team at the beginning of the season, leading to a rocky season for them. The season ended with an overall of three wins for the team. Despite this hardship, there were several things that helped guide the team and coaches towards new team and game skills. “Having a very young team, I was pleased to see the learning process continue throughout the season,” said Head Coach Jim Smoot. “We had first-year players on the court for significant periods and they adjusted to the level of play in college.” Despite this, the team worked their way into the Southland Conference, winning a game against Nicholls State University. This was one of the few victories enjoyed by the team. “It was late in the season and even though we had few victories the team still fought hard,” said Smoot. It wasn’t easy getting through the season, the Lady Lions had many days of practice. Adjustments needed to be made every day spent off the court, in order to help newcomers with the shift from high school level game to a collegiate level. Not only did they have to adapt, but the senior players had to adjust some communications for those joining them. Practicing together every chance possible, made adjustments tolerable. “I prepared by working out and practicing with my team every day to better ourselves as a whole,” said junior setter Haley Baker. A teams’ performance reflects their motivation and passion that leads them to play the sport. This motivation had to continue amongst the team members, in order for them to continue thriving through upsets faced during the season. Without every members’ team spirit and words of encouragement, the team couldn’t go beyond losses and learn from mistakes made during games. Motivation from the coach on and off the court is also a key component that helped lead the team forward and not backwards. “Coach Smoot talks to us before games about what we need to be prepared for when competing against a certain team, he motivates us to play to our best ability,” said Baker. Lady Lions were able to take a 3-0 win against Jackson State at the Maroon Classic. The team took steady wins against the

team in all three sets of the game. Ending the game with 39 kills, the team was able to strive for more games like this. Some players shared their mentality when in their game zone. “During a game, my mentality is to not hold back because the team relies on me,” said junior right-side Elyssa Purcell. “My goal is to be aggressive and be mentally, 100 percent in the game. The competition motivates me to do my best.” After several setbacks, the Lady Lions were able to take home more than a few wins. It is a growing team that requires more than wins in games, for a team to feel they have come a long way from the start. Collegiate players share their thoughts on their season. “This season did not go how I expected it to go,” said Baker. “However, we were a very young team, with seven freshmen, and no seniors. I definitely consider it a rebuilding year.” The team was able to grow and learn something new from each game, win or lose, good or bad, the challenges faced in each game were different and allowed new doors and ideas to open for the next game ahead of them. The team was able to accept some of their losses were not mentally a loss for them and embraced it. “The game against ULL was very exciting even though we lost,” said Purcell. “The energy was awesome, we lost but it didn’t feel like we lost because we played so well.” “It was a good loss.” As a new chapter is opening for the team, in their season to come, their hope is to continue growing as a family, not just a team. The sport goes beyond stepping on the court and hoping for a win, it comes with dedication and team spirit that allows the game to become a part of them as a whole. A few members take some time to share advice with incoming members along with ways the game has left its mark on them. “Being a collegiate athlete has definitely left its mark on me,” said Baker. “Play every year like it is your last because before you know it is going to be over, and you’re going to wish you had another year to play.” STORY BY: SAMANTHA BARRERA DESIGN BY: MEGAN MCCORMICK

VICTORY The men and women’s cross country teams had a great overall season. [where they went to...what they placed…] The Conference Meet made their season take a hard turn however, this did not stop the team from continuing to strive for success during the season. Both teams performed to the best of their abilities. Freshman Adam Cortez was on the rise as he placed [what he placed, where, score]. Freshman Sophie Daigle placed [what she placed and score] Daigle and Cortez in their first season, spoke on their most memorable moment while Southeastern’s Cross Country team this season. “My most memorable moment was the conference meet because it was our first time ever running at that type of meet, it was really exciting to see what we would do as a whole team of freshman girls,” said Daigle. “Probably our very first practice,” said Cortez. “I was very nervous to run here with my new coach, but I hit every split of the workout and was able to impress him right off the bat. That gave me a lot of confidence for the rest of the season, which really set me up for the beginning of the year.” Members of the team have really shown support for each other. They want to grow and move forward and compete to the best of their ability. “My favorite part about meet days is getting to compete with my team,” said Daigle. “It’s nice to have all of us run as hard as we can together and then go cheer for the boys!” Assistant Track and Field Coach (Distance) Rocky Capello, who is in his first year as the distance coach at Southeastern, has a few things he thinks the team can improve for next season. “Confidence. I’ve seen far too many athletes have a serious lack of confidence in themselves,” said Capello. Coach Capello shared what he hopes his athletes view him as, “I hope they recognize me as a hard worker, not only as a coach but also as a practicing attorney,” said Capello.

“I hope they understand how much preparation I put into each practice and race plan. Finally, I hope they realize how passionate I am about coaching. I would hope that they are able to work hard, prepare and have a passion what they choose to do in life.” When asked what word Coach Capello wants his team to associate with his name, his response, “Fartlek. They will know what that means.” Despite the diﬃculties they faced at the end of the season, they are still a successful young team. Daigle, Cortez and Coach Capello each shared their thoughts and insight on the 2017 season. “Overall, we had some pretty good meets. Mostly everyone set a personal record,” said Daigle “A lot of the team started to get sick during the middle of the season so that’s when we started to be at our lowest.” “The high was certainly the meet at LSU. The low was the conference. We vastly underperformed at that meet. That race stayed with me for a while,” said Cortez. “The season was deﬁnitely very up and down, but it was an invaluable learning experience. We had a very strong start but sickness and injury really tore our team apart by the time we got to the conference meet. Individually I did achieve some of my goals, so the season was successful in that sense. All in all, I’d say the season was a little underwhelming but incredibly insightful.” “The 2017 Cross Country season went really well until the Conference Meet. We had great races at UNO, LSU and Texas A&M,” said Capello “As a young team, it gave us a lot to look forward to in the future. Winning the Men’s LSU Cross Country meet was really exciting. Having 3 freshman women perform so well was also a high point of the season. I really expect 2018 to be a breakout year for the SLU Cross Country program.” STORY BY: APRIL COKER DESIGN BY: MEGAN MCCORMICK

reflections of

SOUTHEASTERN Do you remember the first time you set foot on Southeastern’s campus? Maybe you came during high school for Literary Rally or a summer camp. Lion Pride Preview or Orientation may have been the reason for your first visit. Perhaps you began your collegiate career elsewhere then transferred here. Or it may be that you grew up in and around Hammond with so many trips to campus that you couldn’t possibly keep track. No matter how you arrived, you were welcomed as a member of the Southeastern Family. It’s a family that is ever-growing with new students, alumni, faculty and staff joining our ranks every year. And along with the new people, there are also plenty of new facilities and places to see and visit on campus, too. While the infusion of people and places is necessary to continue our tradition of academic excellence, Southeastern continues to draw upon its

caring family atmosphere that has been part of its appeal and success since 1925. We walk toward the future taking many of the same pathways across campus that were first traversed nearly a century ago. And, every step taken along the way makes Southeastern what it is today and will be tomorrow. The pages of Le Souvenir are filled with moments, memories and milestones from the past year. It’s a celebration of the Southeastern Family and all its members who have left their imprint on our great university. The dedicated team of students and advisors who compose Le Souvenir do a masterful job of showcasing our beloved Southeastern. I hope you enjoy this collection of memories of your Southeastern Family. Dr. John L. Crain

never say

GOODBYE Whether hether it is an hour and a half or many states, moving away from home can be scary, overwhelming and completely, out of our comfort zone. However, if you’re as lucky as me, your new location will become just as homey, if not more. Hammond captured my heart 110% from the moment I stepped foot on the campus at my ﬁrst Lion Pride Preview. Shortly after, eager to get involved, I began my college career in Fall 2014. From going Greek to becoming an orientation leader to help planning a leadership conference, I don’t think I left any table unturned. The friends and mentors I have met along the way are truly among some of the best, and without them, my journey would not have been the same. One of my greatest accomplishments throughout my years is being apart of Student Publications. I started as a staﬀ reporter for The Lion’s Roar and worked towards Campus Life Editor before branching out to become Editor in Chief of Le Souvenir.

This book is truly a team eﬀort. I cannot say thank you enough to Dr. Lind and Ms. Lorraine for all the guidance and pep talks. To my staﬀ, thank you for all the hard work and endless hours of covering events and writing cutlines to get the job done. I know Le Souvenir’s future is in good hands with you all. Little did I know that in a blink of an eye, my four years would be over. For many, graduation was a goodbye, but to me, it was only a see you later. Southeastern is home to me. I may drift away to attend graduate school or to visit family, but at the end of the day, Hammond will always be my happy place. I’d like to think that I left my print on Southeastern. However, more importantly, Southeastern has left its print on me. I am a better leader, student and person after my four years here. And because of that, I’ll LION UP forever!
