MESSAGE
Outstanding Alumni Recognized and Celebrated Congratulations to the newest members of the LSU Alumni Association Hall of Distinction – Alumna of the Year D-D Breaux, Young Alumnus of the Year Jordan Davis, Cate Heroman, Gil Rew, and Ivory Toldson. These outstanding Tigers have distinguished themselves through their professional and personal achievements and loyalty to their alma mater, and we are proud to have recognized and celebrated their successes at the Hall of Distinction gala in April. We know you join us in congratulating them and thanking them for their support. See page 14.
“You are extraordinary ambassadors.”
And, hats off to 2012 Alumnus of the Year Johnny Butler, professor of management at the University of Texas, who was named to the Texas 10, the annual list of professors considered by their former students as having made a lasting impact on their lives. These individuals, through their experiences and accomplishments, set an excellent example and pave the way for current students – the future of the Association and the University. It’s time to make plans to cheer for the Fighting Tigers on the road with our Traveling Tigers. We’ll take care of everything – tickets, transportation, hotel accommodations, game-day transportation, pregame events, and more! We kick off the season against Florida State at the Superdome on Sept. 4. Other trips take us to meet the Auburn Tigers, Florida Gators, Arkansas Razorbacks, and Texas Aggies. See inside back cover. As always, thank you for the major roles you have played in creating and growing the LSU Alumni Association. You are extraordinary ambassadors in our efforts to reach and engage graduates, former students, and friends to support our programs of excellence – alumni and chapter events, faculty awards, legislative advocacy, professional networking and scholarships for our outstanding students. We couldn’t do it without you. Enjoy your summer vacations and outings, and if your plans bring you to Baton Rouge, be sure to stop by the Alumni Center for a visit and/or plan a stay at The Cook Hotel. We look forward to seeing you during football season. Geaux Tigers!
