Mom did WHAT in college?

Have you ever wondered how your parents looked or what they accomplished in college? Well, if they attended SLI, USL or ULL there’s no need to wonder anymore, because their old yearbooks are now online!  

Made possible by a STEP (Student Technology Enhancement Program) grant, the University 

  of Louisiana at Lafayette has recently digitized their entire collection of its L’Acadien yearbooks dating back to 1912!

Find your mom, dad, grandparents [even great grandparents] or just browse the archives to see what higher education looked like more than 100 years ago.  

Just like our Cajun heritage, ULL possesses its own unique history; from its humble beginnings in 1898 as SLII to current day ULL.
