Student-athletes top the Sun Belt Conference in community service

Louisiana Athletics has once again set the standard for excellence on the field and in the  community after it was announced that the Ragin' Cajuns led the Sun Belt  Conference in community service hours.

Leading the charge was the men's golf program,  which was the highest-ranked team among all Division I men's programs,  according to Helper-Helper. The women's tennis team was the  second-highest ranked women's program.

Men's golf, women's tennis and baseball each ranked first against like programs, making Louisiana one of two  schools in the nation with three top-ranked programs in community  service. Overall, Louisiana logged the seventh-most hours in Division I.

Embracing the department's core values, specifically service, the  Ragin' Cajuns have been continuing to increase their involvement in the  community.

A key force behind the community engagement is the Geaux Lead program,  which is commited to inspiring, engaging and advancing  student-athletes' personal growth outside of athletic pursuits. The  program has been an advocate for community service by placing  student-athletes with organizations throughout Acadiana, including Our  Lady of Lourdes and the United Way.
