“Meet the Jaguars” to draw Southern fans in Cenla



ALEXANDRIA, Louisiana -- Southern University’s pride is wide across Louisiana.

That statement can be said in Central Louisiana as the Rapides Chapter of the Southern University Alumni Federation will host an event where fans and alumni can meet with school officials prior to the season.

“Meet the Jaguars” will take place Saturday at Best Western Inn as Jaguars coach Dawson Odums will be in attendance.

“The Southern fan base is huge in Central Louisiana,” city councilman Roosevelt Johnson said. “Most of the fan base here are prominent in the community as lawyers, teachers and businessmen.”

One of the key points of the event is to help benefit a scholarship fund for future prospective students who may want to attend the university.
