Lions Connected at Southeastern Louisiana University
Lions Connected at Southeastern Louisiana University centers their Lions Connected Courses and college-level courses around the practice
of “learning by doing.” As students in the LC program prepare for a career they love,
Lions Connected works closely with each student to customize their courses and college
experience. Academic mentors accompany each LC student every step of the way. They
help the LC students learn to navigate the complexities of campus life. Social mentors
are available to enrich interpersonal skills and relationships through extracurricular
activities.
