Eugenie Suddith Duhon’s USL MEMORIES

                Thirty years ago, USL was not only a place for a pursuit of academic excellence but also a place for building physical fitness and physical endurance. Many of us remember walking miles back and forth to “Little Abbeville” for various classes. Once there, one might have to rush back all the way to Girard for the next class. This definitely kept us aerobically fit. In addition, doing this on a cold, rainy day added another facet to the physical training and presented decision-making opportunities. Shall I jump over the three-foot wide ice cold water or wade through it ? Do I buy a new umbrella or just take mine back the next time I see it outside the door of class ? These practical learning experiences were ever so helpful!

                On a more serious side, attending USL was a thorough educational and social experience. There were many challenging classes and educational activities. In addition, I met many wonderful people who expanded my thinking, challenged my stereotypical views and broadened my ideas about people, both as groups and as individuals. Of course, the best was meeting a great guy who would later become my husband. So now you really know why I have such fond memories of USL

                Thanks for the memories.
