LAFAYETTE, La. (AP) Grey-shirted Ragin’ Cajuns fanned through campus and neighborhoods surrounding the University of Louisiana at Lafayette last Saturday for a “big” day of community service.
Around 600 UL Lafayette students, faculty and alumni turned out to collect litter, plant trees, garden and assist local nonprofits, including the United Way of Acadiana and Second Harvest Food Bank, for The Big Event at UL Lafayette.
March 27 was UL’s eighth Big Event. The service project came to campus in 2013, an off-shoot of the longtime service project of the same name at Texas A&M University. The Big Event service events are now held annually at more than 100 university campuses in the United States and internationally, per The Big Event’s website.
