Office of Diversity
Our collaborative approach to ensuring that all members of the campus community feel welcome and included builds on the university’s strength in diversity.
We have a vision for tomorrow.
Educational attainment is one of the greatest equalizers to upward mobility; successfully completing college has implications for the uplift of not just students, but also their families and communities. Your gifts will transform LSU into a national leader in helping underrepresented populations succeed. You will bring together the LSU community in examining multidimensional perspectives of personal and cultural engagement through intellectual curiosity and advocacy, for the benefit of the entire university and the world.
