The primary mission of Favrot Student Union is to provide services, and programs that
are positive to students’ developmental needs as well as provide recreational needs
of the campus and community. Through the work of its staff and various committees,
Favrot Student Union is a “laboratory” where students can learn and practice leadership,
programming, social responsibility, and interpersonal skills. Additionally, Student
Activities programming complements the academic program of study and enhances the
overall educational experience of students through the development of, exposure to,
and participation in social, cultural, and recreational programs.
The Favrot Student Union is more than just a building; it is an organized staff of
concerned people working to provide the best possible activities. Programs and services
for the University Family, visitors and friends. To support the staff in its efforts
is the Favrot Student Union Advisory Board, a student organization comprised of five
functioning committees (Activity, Hospitality, Publicity, Research and Evaluation
and Artistic and Cultural).
Through these committees, three-fourths of the campus’ entertainment is planned and
coordinated. Miss Grambling State University and the Royal Court and Miss Cover Girl
are all a part of the Favrot Student Union Board. However, the Favrot Student Union
and the Favrot Student Union Board is always open to suggestions, comments and input
from the University family, especially our students. Students with an interest or
desire to grow socially, culturally, spiritually and philosophically in the views
of the University, should join one of these committees. The Favrot Student Union is
part of the educational program of the University. As the University community life,
it serves as a laboratory of citizenship, training students for social responsibilities
and for leadership in our democracy. It encourages self-realization and growth in
individual social competency and group effectiveness. Its goal is the development
of persons as well as intellects. The Union serves as a unifying force in the life
of the University, cultivating an enduring regard for and loyalty to the University.
