UL's Honors Program is the largest in Louisiana, and perennially sweeps awards at the state's annual Honors Convocation, including the Quiz Bowl Trophy. As is true of so many of UL's programs, Honors is built from, and on, a very different foundation than traditional universities use, one of service and inclusion: to the students it serves, to the University as a whole, to the community, and to the world.

Interview with Elizabeth Brooks

A few years ago, a student stepped up to work towards making the UL "Horse Farm" a public park for the whole community. While a fierce argument raged through the community, fueled by divisive media commentary, the student heading the effort was meeting politely with President Authément, who welcomed both the student activism and the independence of thought and diversity of opinion, with the open-mindedness, tolerance, and collegiality that the life of the mind demands. She talks about her experiences with ultoday.com.
