MESSAGE
Looking Back . . . and Looking Forward
This issue’s cover story will surely stir readers’ memories. Memorial Tower is one of the oldest and most iconic structures on campus. The bronze tablets in the rotunda memorialize Louisiana soldiers who died in World War I, and over the years the Tower has housed military exhibits, offices and conference rooms, an information center, and an art museum. It is now the home of the William A. Brookshire LSU Military Museum, which will recognize and pay tribute to LSU’s rich military heritage and legacy for decades to come.
Be sure to check out page six for the latest information about “What We Do.” And, that includes what you do with us and for us to support the University, its faculty and staff, alumni, friends, and current students – our future alumni.
We enjoyed traveling coast to coast for the spring and early summer crawfish boils. It’s always a pleasure to visit with old friends and make new ones while enjoying Louisiana crawfish with all the trimmings! Your efforts to keep alumni and friends connected are deeply appreciated.
We were privileged to host the 2022 Association of Louisiana Alumni Executives Conference, which gave us the opportunity to share news, ideas, and information with our alumni colleagues across the state. See page 19.
We’ll be seeing many of you in the next few months at football games – on campus and at away games. We have planned exciting Traveling Tigers trips for the Florida State, Auburn, Florida, Arkansas, and Texas A&M games, so make your reservations now!
Hearty congratulations to our spring graduates, whose names appear in this issue. We hope you will take advantage of many opportunities – travel, sporting and social events, camaraderie, and connections – available to you through the LSU Alumni Association.
As we move into the final quarter of the year, I urge you to renew your membership in the Association and consider an additional donation to the Alumni Fund. Your financial support is vital to maintaining and enhancing our programs for alumni and friends, students, faculty, and the University.
Thank you for your support – past, present, and future. We couldn’t do it without you.
Forever LSU!
Gordon Monk President/CEO
