Loyola Lagniappe 2008
June 22, 23 & July 20, 21
The word lagniappe ('lan-,yap) is a traditional term from the rich Creole dialect mixture of New Orleans, where it acquired a French spelling. It is still used to denote "a little something extra".
While the August orientation program, Wolfpack Welcome, is the main event, Loyola Lagniappe is a BRAND NEW optional experience that serves as "a little something extra" for students and their families earlier in the summer before moving to school.
