Faculty Research
Our faculty conduct research on questions businesses and consumers face every day, and they bring that research and their industry partnerships into the classroom so students learn from current work, not just textbooks.

The LEED Center's work includes:
- Community strategic planning with towns and parishes across Acadiana
- Support for entrepreneurs and small businesses in rural communities
- Workforce development and new product development
- Marketing plans for local businesses and nonprofits
