If you are a follower of History on the Move then you
probably know that it’s a program through ULL. And you probably would assume
that all of the students attending the trip to Alaska either attend UL or have
previously attended the university. That is just not the case! I am the lone
wolf. I am a proud member of the LSU family. I wear my purple and gold with a
smile on my face. BUT… coming on this trip with two UL professors and thirteen
UL students has helped me realize that I can accessorize with that Ragin’ Cajun
red!
Robyn
provides us with plenty of entertainment by performing love-struck dramas. Tori
can turn pretty much any situation into a comedy skit. Keagan became one with a
porcupine puppet name Quilliam Athabascus, III, Master Furrier. Stephen took a
dip in a mud volcano. Mike speaks of crazy things when he has too much caffeine.
Kristen the animal lover refuses to eat pork and screams to prevent dogs from
being run over by bulldozers. Hilary put an end to the randomizer by letting
Dr. Farmer-Kaiser use her auxiliary cord. Jessica crossed a freezing cold
creek at Independence Mine. Breanne and Kay perform Disney songs beautifully.
Sarah Cruth, our designated medic, was the first to require her own services by
spraining her ankle on an intense hike. Aimee showed us her rock-skipping
skills at Caines Head. Sarah Vining braved the Category 4 Six-Mile Creek
rapids like a champ. The kids danced for us, put us in jail, and reminded us of
how beautiful it was to be so young. Mrs. Dawn did a lot of behind-the-scenes
work and helped the trip flow. Dr. Carriker and Dr. Farmer-Kaiser have made
this a trip that none of us will forget. I think I speak for the whole group
when I say we couldn’t thank them enough for the experiences they have provided
us. I am so glad I decided to become an honorary Ragin’ Cajun!

From Dr. Farmer-Kaiser and Dr. Carriker: Alex is no lone wolf here. She is forever a part of the HOM "pack." Indeed, and as far as we are concerned, she is always welcome here at UL, and we just hope that LSU knows how lucky it is to have her!
