Candidate of the day!
"Hello everyone! My name is Alaina Kiefner. I was born and raised in Lafayette, LA and decided to come to this university because of its explosive growth and spirit that seems to be contagious. Inspired by my high school counselor, I am majoring in Psychology in the hopes of helping people in their daily life. I went to St. Thomas More Catholic high school where I was extremely involved- I was on the Cougar Dance team serving as Co-captain senior year, President of the STM Ambassadors, Senior student council representative, National Honor Society, Campus Ministry leadership team, Options mentor CORE team, and many other committees. I also helped start the Cougars for Life club at STM. During my junior year, I was part of the Lafayette Junior Leadership council. I was on the 2014 Homecoming Court, October Cougar of the Month, Cougar of the Year, received the St. Thomas More Award, Knights of Columbus Catholic Youth Leadership award, Daughters of the American Revolution award, Cox 4 Scholar of the week honor, and was the 2014 Cougar Court Queen during my Senior year. Now being a Ragin' Cajun, I am a member of the Kappa Delta sorority, the Ragin' Cajun Catholics discipleship team, UL Students for Life, PSYCHO, Up Til' Dawn relay for life, and hoping to be involved in more throughout my collegiate experience. I have a heart for this university, service, dreams, and growth. I am ready to hit the ground running with my three amazing friends and watch the class of 2018 embrace this RARE period of time at the university."
