Awards were recently presented to the eight SGA presidents in the ULS system. “These students represent the best and the brightest,” Clausen said. “Not only have they worked hard on their own campuses, they have also tackled tough statewide issues like the high costs of textbooks and campus safety. Their work will have a positive impact on all of Louisiana’s students.”
