"The professors actually care about the students in the program. Whenever I need help, whether it's an assignment, research, or personal, I know there are plenty of people I can turn to. I also enjoy the various workshops about money management, future career endeavors, and how to handle various situations in the classroom, which speak to my fears of leaving UL Lafayette. The students and professors in the program have formed a community that has really turned UL Lafayette into my home away from home. I always feel heard." - Aliyah Watkins, English Ph.D. student
