Alexis Brown I joined the Academic Success Team in January 2022. I work with students at varying stages in their academic career and help them begin (and continue) to navigate their academic life here at UL Lafayette. My goal is to be a friendly and helpful contact that students know will help them in whatever capacity they may need. I am grateful to have the chance to work with such diverse students and use my knowledge and experience to help them take of ownership of their academic lives and beyond. As a former teacher, I am thrilled to have the chance to continue to see students succeed and grow in all facets of their life. I graduated from Birmingham-Southern College (BSC) in Birmingham, Al with a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology and from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) with a Master of Education degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education. I spent 6 years working in the classroom as an early childhood educator and am ready to apply the many skills I have learned guiding and teaching my younger students, to the young adults I will be teaching and advising here. I cannot wait to see all the great things students here at UL Lafayette accomplish! |

Leticia Andrus I joined the Academic Success Center in August of 2022 as an Academic Advisor. I feel incredibly honored to be able to work with first year college students in this University. To help them smoothly transition to college and to see their academic success is what makes this job so rewarding. Originally from São Paulo, Brazil, I earned a Bachelor of Art in Journalism in my home country, and a Master of Science in Communication at UL Lafayette. I am currently working on my Doctoral Program in Education with a concentration in Higher Education. My goal is to continue learning to better serve the students and the community in our university. I am a proud Ragin’ Cajun and I am thrilled with the opportunity to work in a university that welcomed me so well and it made me feel at home! |
