What is the Honors Lasallian Advocacy Project?

This year, all freshmen and sophomore honors students participated in anew element of their Honors experience: The Honors Lasallian Advocacy Project. The purpose of the Lasallian Advocacy Project is to create space for Honors students to engage in the city of Memphis while advancing their critical thinking and problem solving skills through discovering real world problems to in return, propose real world solutions!
