Brain Exercise Initiative is a research-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit service organization that utilizes simple math, writing, and reading-aloud exercises as an intervention to improve cognitive function in assisted-living facility residents with Alzheimer's Disease. Pioneered by neuroscientist Dr. Ryuta Kawashima, it has been found that doing these simple brain exercises for just 30 minutes a day, 5 times a week, caused marked improvements for those with Alzheimer's Disease. The gentle mental activities Dr. Kawashima used activated the prefrontal cortex, the control center for memory, cognition, and planning.

Drawing from this groundbreaking research, Brain Exercise Initiative at LSU strives to create an intergenerational service opportunity in which LSU students hold brain exercise programs at retirement homes in the Baton Rouge community. We use daily packets which include simple math, writing, and "read-alouds" that are completed by each elder with the guidance of LSU student volunteers. Not only does Brain Exercise Initiative at LSU hope to improve the memory of those suffering from Alzheimer's and dementia but we also create an invaluable, all-too-rare avenue for intergenerational service, discussion, and collaboration. Volunteer with us to help more seniors remember and thrive!

This is a student-led mental health initiative aimed to improve general mental wellness of the student body and allow our students to be a voice for how we as a university can promote student wellness and mental health services. The Wellness Project was developed for three primary purposes:

Membership Benefits
1. Community building
-This club provides an open space to meet other students facing similar issues and build relationships. Being surrounded by students and peers who are going through the college process with you can create a connection that you may not be able to make with a professional therapist or counselor.
-We host events, meetings, talk sessions, and activities that build and reinforce this community aspect where people can share their stories and make friends.
-We, the exec board, as well as members within the club understand how you are feeling and do not want you to feel alone with what you are going through. We are here for you when you feel like you are not being heard or patiently waiting for professional help.

2. Breaking the Stigma through Our System
-We understand it can be difficult to ask for mental health assistance as stigma and societal judgment can deter students from seeking out resources in the first place.

Our system:
-We have an anonymous form on our social media page that students can fill out to discuss any personal problems they might have without having to reveal their identity.
-Our executive team looks at these forms daily and compiles a list of all student problems that need to be addressed.
-We then send it over to LSU resources like the student health center, the wellness hub, and professionals who will give us insight into how to address your specific problem.
-At our club meetings, we then read out anonymous submissions and provide solutions, at-home techniques, speakers, PowerPoints, and activities that students can use in their own lives to help themselves as well as friends, family members, or even strangers who may be going through a similar problem. This information will also be regularly posted on our Instagram page.

3. Providing Knowledge, Partnering, Professional Training, Committees
-We understand that navigating through all the mental health resources on campus can be daunting, exhausting, and stressful, which is why we are here to make the process easier for you.

-Knowledge: Our Instagram provides step-by-step guides on how to navigate through every single mental health resource on campus. We also provide mental health tips, organization collabs, event dates, mental health quizzes, and more through our social media pages.

-Partnering: We strive to partner with other clubs, organizations, and initiatives on campus as well as the student health center and wellness hub to provide you with the best resources and events on campus.

-Training: We, the Executive board, are trained in three trainings (SPR, Wellness Champions, and QPR).
-We offer dates provided by the student health center and wellness hub that we
direct students who would like to be professionally trained and certified as well.

-Our club will recognize students who complete training certifications through
gold, silver, and bronze membership statuses.
-General Status: 0 Trainings and complete active membership requirements
-Bronze Status: 1 Training and complete active membership requirements
-Silver Status: 2 Trainings and complete active membership requirements

The Louisiana State University Service-Dog Training and Education Program, known as STEP@LSU for short, is a non-profit and service organization that focuses on raising funds, educating the LSU and Baton Rouge community, and training service dogs for people with disabilities. We train our future service dogs in conjunction with Canine Companions, which is also a non-profit organization. Their provided Labrador retrievers, Golden retrievers, and Labrador/Golden crosses represent both Canine Companions and LSU, wearing yellow and blue around our LSU campus and Baton Rouge community. It is of the highest importance that we hold our puppies and their raisers to high standards, always making sure our future service dogs are loved, well cared for, and on their best behavior.

This Registered Student Organization will allow students the opportunity to raise and train service dogs for the organization Canine Companions, as well as fundraise for the club, educate our community, and establish a community on campus and in Baton Rouge. Canine Companions is a national organization based in Santa Rosa, CA, which places trained canines in a variety of different capacities. Canine Companions is leading the service dog industry so their clients and their dogs can live with greater independence. The organization provides service dogs to adults, children, and veterans with disabilities and facility dogs to professionals working in healthcare, criminal justice, and educational settings. Their dogs may be placed as service dogs for adults and children with disabilities, hearing dogs for adults who are deaf or hard of hearing, or facility dogs that serve at different types of institutions.

Canine Companions breed their puppies at their respective headquarters and leave the puppies to a "Breeder Caretaker", who takes care of the puppies until they are sent to their raisers. At eight weeks old, the puppies are sent to puppy raisers across America, and the raising process begins. Sixteen to eighteen months later, after socializing the puppies in all environments and teaching them over 30 commands, raisers travel to their local headquarters to turn their dogs back over to Canine Companions. After matriculation (when the dogs are officially turned in for professional training), the dogs spend six to nine months with professional trainers, learning advanced commands such as turning on light switches and opening doors until they are deemed ready to graduate. They are then taken to Team Training, in which individuals in need of a service dog interact with several dogs and are specifically matched with one that fits their needs best.

Membership Benefits
The support you will find in your fellow students, the ability to fundraise to support your puppy raisers and club projects, bringing the calming presence of a Canine Companions puppy to your campus, being part of a community that serves people with disabilities from all backgrounds, building life-long relationships both within your club and within Canine Companions.

Here at LSU, we have incorporated music into the lives of others in the community since 1926 through our events, service, and philanthropic efforts. We dedicate our time and service by helping in any way we can to the College of Music and Dramatic Arts. Some of these events include volunteering at Stately Oaks, National Audition Day, Double Reed Day, Bass-Fest and other festivals, nursing home visits, and practice room cleanings. 
We also dedicate a large portion of our time to fundraisers such as Penny Wars, which is a heated financial competition between sections of Tiger Band and even the staff participates! Additionally, we organize rose sales before concerts and operas and sell concessions at basketball and baseball games and gymnastic meets.
However, one of Sigma Alpha Iota's main purposes as a fraternity is philanthropy. In the past, we have donated the money from our fundraisers to the Sunshine Project, Kid's Orchestra, Undergraduate Theatre Alliance, and local band programs such as those affected by Hurricane Harvey and the flood of 2016, as well as other programs in need of financial help. Recently, we established a spring semester scholarship to support the financial needs of outstanding women in the LSU School of Music.
