What our Customers are Saying about our Services:

“This fall, we were so excited to plan a formal Homecoming Dinner in the Ballroom
at the Southeastern Student Union. Last year, we were not able to have a Homecoming
because of the pandemic. Our experience at the Student Union was wonderful, and one
of the aspects of working with Southeastern that stood out to me was the professionalism
and dedication of the student workers who helped us plan, set-up, execute, and take-down
our event. The students at Southeastern not only assisted with the technical aspects
of the event, but truly entered into the experience, kept me laughing throughout the
evening, and even helped me hand out prizes from the stage! Our high school students
enjoyed every minute of Homecoming, and their faces were priceless when they turned
the corner and saw how beautiful the ballroom had been decorated or when they laughed
with student worker Kenny. I will always remember this experience as one of pure joy,
and a great way to “come back” from Covid.”
– Alexandra Burris, St. Thomas Aquinas Educator/ Rental Customer

 

“As the CEO of the Tangipahoa Chamber, I’ve had the privilege of working with the
Southeastern Event and Conference Services team as partners in the success of our
many events.  From hosting the Governor to high school students on their first interviews,
event logistics are always detail-oriented and the day of the event is always smooth.
They go above and beyond to make sure all of our needs are met. 
I’m particularly impressed with how they fully engage Southeastern student in the
event management process.  Real world learning is part of Southeastern’s commitment
to their students and the Student Union provides the best hands on experience for
these student leaders.”
Melissa Bordelon, Tangipahoa Chamber Chief Executive Officer
