Spent some time today with Dr. Jeff Plumlee, who is the recipient of the Early Career Fellowship by the Gulf Research Program of @theNASEM.

For the unfamiliar, this is next level. This level of excellence inspires me, and makes LSU and the @LSUAgCenter a better place.

Thrilled to welcome Louisiana’s 4‑H and FFA state officers to LSU today! These exceptional young leaders represent the future of our state, and our youth programs are preparing them to lead with purpose and impact.

I had the privilege of speaking with the @lafarmbureau Board of Directors yesterday alongside LSU Executive Vice President Dr. James Dalton and head of the @lsuagcenter Dr. Matt Lee. I also stopped by for a quick interview with This Week in Louisiana Agriculture.

Louisiana ranks third nationally for childhood obesity rates. @PBRCNews' @GreauxHealthy Moves Bus is working to change that. The bus travels the state to bring Louisiana communities information on childhood obesity prevention and treatment.

Watch Interim @LSUpresident Matt Lee step inside and learn more 🚌

That’s exactly what you should expect from a university whose mission is to serve this state! We’re delivering on our promise to our students and to the people of Louisiana.
