LAFAYETTE - Heading into the 2021 calendar year, the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Department of Athletics embarked on a new initiative for its more than 400 student-athletes.
This new venture would amplify the professional development efforts taking place beyond the fields of competition. The Geaux Lead Academy, in partnership with local organization Leadership Lafayette, has delivered monthly seminars to approximately 50 student-athletes as part of its first months of operation.
With opportunities to listen and learn from area business leaders and local civic figures, the Geaux Lead Academy has offered tremendous opportunities for professional networking to Louisiana's student-athletes.
