Orientation Week for ULM MLS Year 1 & Year 2 students was a success!

The week was filled with opportunities for students to connect, learn, and prepare for the semester ahead. Activities included a tour of our new facility, lunch with fellow students and faculty, and a Q&A session with our Year 2 MLS students, who shared their experiences and answered questions from the incoming class.

To wrap up the week, our Year 2 students completed competency and skill check-offs for their practicals. The year two students also received ULM MLS T-shirts and handwritten notes of encouragement from the ULM MLS staff!

We’re excited to see what this semester has in store for both our Year 1 and Year 2 students. Best of luck to everyone this semester!
