BATON ROUGE – Louisiana State University is honoring graduates of the Class of 2020 who were affected by the pandemic.
The university issued a Thursday, May 13 news release that said members of the Class of 2020 that would like to participate in an in-person ceremony will be welcomed back to campus to attend in-person graduation ceremonies Friday, May 14. The Class of 2020 will be recognized in a ceremony at 8:30 a.m. and a ceremony at 11 a.m., both taking place in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.
BATON ROUGE – Six LSU faculty members, who are leaders in their respective fields, have been selected to receive the Rainmaker Award from the LSU Office of Research & Economic Development, or ORED. Rainmakers are faculty members who balance their teaching and research responsibilities while extending the impact of their work to the world beyond academia.
“I extend my congratulations to this year’s LSU Rainmakers. On behalf of your colleagues at LSU, we recognize and appreciate you and your exceptional work, especially in light of the challenges of these times. Your resilience, creativity and excellence inspire us all,” said LSU Vice President of Research & Economic Development Samuel Bentley.
As part of a public relations capstone class, Manship School of Mass Communication students are working with an organization called âStudents for LOPAâ to raise awareness for donating and debunking myths regarding organ donors.
According to its website, LOPA (Louisiana Organ Procurement Agency) is a federally designated, not for profit organ and tissue recovery agency for the state of Louisiana. The student groupâs goal is to create a public relations campaign to spread awareness and education about organ donations and to increase the number of donors from college students.
Mass communication senior Whitney Hicks said she decided to work on the organ donor project because she felt that it was an important cause. She served as the writing director for the group.
