II: SOUTHEASTERN LOUISIANA UNIVERSITY CONTEMPORARY ART GALLERY
ABOUT SOUTHEASTERN
Southeastern Louisiana University (Hammond, LA) began as a grass-roots movement by the people of Hammond and the surrounding area, who recognized the need for an institution of higher education in order to further the educational, economic and cultural development of southeast Louisiana. What began as a junior college supported by local taxes has developed into a major university as Southeastern has grown to meet the evolving needs of southeast Louisiana. As the third largest university in the state with nearly 15,000 students, Southeastern is large enough to offer the real college experience that you deserve. Southeastern Louisiana University has earned three rankings from U.S. News and World Report. The university was again named among the top universities in the region as one of the top 50 public schools and one of the top 100 universities (private or public) in the South, as well as one of the top national performers for the social mobility of its students.
