Business Survey for Former UL Athletes and Support Group Members

This survey is a wonderful opportunity to showcase the university is a positive light. To accomplish this, your immediate action is needed.  

The University of Louisiana at Lafayette had commissioned Appleseed to conduct an economic and community impact analysis and reports for the University. Appleseed is an industry leader in conducting higher education economic impact analysis. Some of their clients include Virginia Tech, Tulane, Harvard, Notre Dame, and Columbia, to name a few.

The purpose of this study is to provide the University with detailed economic and community impact reports, an executive summary of the report, promotional brochures based on the report, and fact sheets to be parish specific for UL’s  par! is h region.

The value of this report is to inform our audiences about the multiple ways in which the University contributes to the vitality of the region’s economy, both as a major regional enterprise in its own right and through activities related to its mission.

The University is in the process of collecting the necessary data to complete the report, and we need the help of our former athletes and support groups. Information is needed on University alumni who own businesses in Lafayette, Acadia, Evangeline, Iberia, St. Landry, St. Mary, St. Martin,  Vermilion, Jeff Davis and Avoyelles parishes. We are asking for your help in identifying these individuals, and providing some basic information such as the name of the business, type of business, years in operation, the number of employees, etc.
See form below. 

The work that Appleseed is doing, and the reports and information provided to the University, will only be as good as the data we are able to provide. We are asking for your assistance in this project so we can have the most accurate, comprehensive reports possible.

Please complete the form below and email to athleticnetwork@louisiana.edu no later than Saturday, Nov. 21. Please help us reach all of the target group. Please send to former UL students who own businesses in the Acadiana Parishes. Thanks.
