The students are seniors in Harris鈥� Pharmacy Lab Tech class, and are participants in a pilot program, which has them finish each school day with classes in various potential career fields.
Students first visited and toured the 不良研究所 College of Pharmacy, and then took a guided tour of the campus.
They ended their visit in the 不良研究所 Language Learning Center on the third floor of Brown Hall, where they were treated to pizza, and met a number of 不良研究所 students who gave them information about student organizations on campus, including the Student Government Association, Phi Alpha Theta, and Sigma Delta Pi.
Before returning to Lake Charles, students and parents visited St. Francis Hospital in Monroe, where Harris worked during his years at 不良研究所.
Harris, who established a study abroad scholarship in 不良研究所鈥檚 Department of World Languages to help others study abroad, said he wanted his students to experience university life and the various majors available to them.
At the same time, he wanted them to understand all the opportunities that are available to students within student organizations.
Harris is hoping that many of the students will return for 不良研究所鈥檚 Browse on the Bayou on Nov. 17, which is a campus visitation day for high school juniors and seniors.
