Organizations & Associations

Join student organizations and professional associations for UL Lafayette management, hospitality management, and PLRM students.

Some of the most valuable parts of your degree happen outside the classroom. Our student organizations connect you with classmates who share your interests and with the professionals who hire in your field, through guest speakers, industry conventions, workshops, competitions, and volunteer work in the Lafayette community.

Joining an organization is also one of the best ways to build leadership experience before you graduate. Serving as an officer, planning an event, or representing UL Lafayette at a conference gives you real accomplishments to talk about in interviews and on scholarship applications. Many of our organizations welcome students from any major, so you don't have to wait until you've declared to get involved.
