Opportunities such as competitive programs, scholarship opportunities, and lectures are our ways of guiding students towards excellence academically. With our group also having a minimum GPA requirement, STEM and overall, we plan to inspire students to not only find ways to succeed but promote a drive to perfect their methods.
In our attempt to lead LSU students to benefit the underserved sides of Baton Rouge and Louisiana as a whole, we will promote our students to serve as volunteers, with club coordinated events.
From a career standpoint, we, as pre-health students ourselves, understand how difficult it is to find entry level jobs in the medical field while still being a student. Because of our own personal struggles, we have decided to guide students towards internships, shadowing experiences, and even potential jobs in the medical field through both referrals and certification opportunities.
