The Southeastern Louisiana University student organization Reconnect sponsors a farmers market in front of the Student Union. It is the only student-run farmers market on a college campus in the state. The event features food sales from area farmers, food samples, arts and crafts, homemade soaps, and more.
Reconnect provide students with an opportunity to help educate the campus community about environmental and sustainability issues while connecting with other student groups (both internal and external to Southeastern) who share common goals and assist in the greening of Southeastern and the community at large.
The group participates in programs like Green Light New Orleans, Keep Hammond Beautiful trash pick-up days, Southeastern's recycling program, and Earth Day activities. The group can be found on Facebook.
