FOCUS is a unique, student-led Honors College organization that aims to preserve the humanities programs often cut from school curricula by allowing students to take workshops and seminars in dance, music, art, theatre, philosophy, and creative writing. FOCUS participants live on LSU’s campus, taking classes that simulate the college experience. They choose a “focus area,” take a college preparato

Research on FOCUS has been presented at several national conferences — Honors students independently presented at the Gulf South Summit — and the program has won several grants, including $45,000 from the Special Children’s Foundation and annual funding from Shell. In addition to grants, FOCUS is also funded through a student-run fundraiser held every year called “Art Serving Art.” Local artists donate their work and FOCUS members organize an auction whose proceeds benefit the summer program.

Both learn different ways of seeing the world.” Read the full article here: http://www.lsu.edu/ur/ocur/lsunews/MediaCenter/News/2013/08/item62853.html
