## History

[edit]

LSU Eunice was founded in 1964 by the Louisiana State Legislature to provide basic higher education opportunities to students located in southwest Louisiana. The LSU Board of Supervisors approved the establishment of LSU Eunice and Louisiana State University Shreveport in 1965.

State Representative Allen C. Gremillion of Crowley was instrumental in passage of the legislation creating LSU Eunice.[3]

Through the work of Curtis Joubert, the former mayor of Eunice, LSU-E established the Cajun Prairie Wildflower Habitat.[4]

The university is a member of the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA).[5] Baseball and softball are Division II NJCAA independent teams, men's and women's basketball competes in Division I in the Louisiana Community Colleges Athletic Conference, and the men's and women's soccer teams are Division I NJCAA independents.

Men's sports include baseball, basketball and soccer; while women's sports include basketball, soccer and softball. Their official colors are purple and gold.
