HAMMOND – Southeastern Louisiana University’s annual “Rock ‘n Roar” is scheduled
in the Student Union from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 23, and promises to
be a fun-filled day for students and local families. Held in conjunction each year
with the District 8 Literary Rally, Rock n’ Roar is free and open to the public.
In its 23rd year, Rock ‘n Roar showcases Southeastern’s academics and community
for over 3,400 students from more than 80 visiting high schools from the Southeast
and New Orleans districts.
“We are excited to show these top students what Southeastern has to offer,” said
Recreational Sports and Wellness Director Seth Thomas. “A group of faculty and staff
from across campus have worked to provide these students a Lion worthy experience
while they wait for tests to start or for their classmates to finish.”
Rock ‘n Roar will also include an art workshop at Clark Hall on Southeastern’s
campus at 8 a.m. for children ages 5-14. The cost is $10 and limited to the first
100 children. Visitors may register on site or at https://tinyurl.com/yxh3dkpj.
