Two lessons leaders would do well to learn:

🌟 Operational mistakes are not personal failures.

🌟 While the contributing factors may not be your fault, the responsibility of the decision on how to move forward is yours.

Happy birthday, Louisiana! ⚜️ ☀️ 🐊 🐟

On this day in 1812, Louisiana became the 18th state admitted to the U.S. Union. We're 214 years old today, and still as vibrant as ever!

[LSU President Dr. Wade Rousse @LSUpresident]

On this day in 1926, we dedicated a campus that would change Louisiana and the world.
This is where tradition meets momentum and a pathway to success.
The story of our Flagship paved the way for the LSU System we lead today.
This is where it started.
This is where we lead! Geaux Tigers! #LSU

“No student should have to choose between recovery & education.”

Beginning the climb should never mean sacrificing opportunity.

#CollegiateRecovery ensures students can pursue both their wellbeing & their academic goals together.

Dr. Dolores Spikes shattered ceilings in higher education.

She was the first woman to lead the Southern University System...AND the first woman in the U.S. to lead a university system.

Her legacy continues to inspire generations of leaders.
