Louisiana leads the Gulf South in construction. This week we unveiled the Art Favre School of Construction logo and previewed the sign for our $107M construction and advanced manufacturing building. We plan to break ground in 2027. Thank you, Art. Geaux Tigers!

LSU has a longstanding tradition of developing leaders who serve something greater than themselves. This Veterans Day, we honor all who have served our nation and recognize the proud legacy of service, leadership and patriotism that continues to shape our LSU community.
Thank you to all who have worn the uniform and defended our freedoms. Happy Veterans Day!

WHAT A WEEKEND! It was an honor to welcome @FLOTUS to LSU to announce a $7.5 million scholarship endowment for students who have experienced foster care. Thank you to MMR Group for its $5 million gift and to our @LSUFoundation donors.

“While most eyes will be on the athletes today, I encourage you to recognize LSU’s Fostering the Future scholars, who are just as remarkable. Today, we have 14 scholars at LSU and 9 at Alabama. Across the country, 26 universities are supporting 100 Fostering the Future scholars this semester.”

FOSTERING THE FUTURE // New $7.5 Million LSU Endowment Fund

As adults, we have a moral obligation to our children, especially those in foster care.

But, we must act to truly make a difference.

The foster care community doesn’t need words.

Our LSUE community welcomed some FUTURE BENGALS today to the Cajun Prairie. It was Bengal Day - one of our campus preview days - with students getting a first hand look at campus, our programs, and the LSUE Difference.

See you tonight! #BootUp

TAILGATING UPDATE FOR LSU–ALABAMA, NOV. 7:
Unauthorized large-scale gatherings that create unsafe conditions or block emergency access are strictly prohibited and subject to immediate shutdown.
As always, student tailgates must wrap up one hour before kickoff. Teams will sweep those areas to ensure attendees have entered the stadium or headed home.
No additional events are allowed during or after the game. Traditional tailgates, including watching the game on television, remain welcome.
Help keep gameday safe and enjoyable for everyone, Tigers.
