Students today, leaders tomorrow.

The BLA Order/House System is a student organization encouraging and inspiring students to achieve specific academic and student leadership goals. By creating smaller integrated student communities, this framework opens doors to greater leadership opportunities. Several purposes of this system include increasing peer-to-peer support, building strong relationships, and developing skills in leadership.
