2022 Reginald F. Lewis Scholars
Two McNeese sophomores - Cadenley Francois, a nursing major from Gonaïves, Haiti, and Chima Owunna, a computer engineering student from Anambra, Nigeria – have been selected as 2022 Reginald F. Lewis Scholars by the University of Louisiana System.
The Lewis Scholars program, designed to enhance the collegiate experience of Black males across the UL System, has three components: community experience, which includes a partnership with the Universities of Louisiana Management & Leadership Institute and a service-learning project; the social experience, which includes an annual focused retreat and academic, social and professional mentorship from business, community and university leaders; and the academic experience, which includes research projects and a study abroad opportunity in their junior year.
Francois sees his community project as interacting with children ages 5-11. He thinks that “positively engaging with the kids can encourage them to have a successful path in life.”
Owunna said he welcomed the experience at the Black Male Summit and felt a sense of belonging and brotherhood among the people attending.
