LSU Alumni Association - Dallas Chapter

🐅Celebrating Texas Tiger father/son team, Shea and Cade Mercer!

Shea has been involved in the Dallas Chapter since the 90's and has served on our local board for the past 10 years. Cade joined us in 2024 after graduating and both are proud LSU Alumni!

Shea owns recruiting / staffing company - Mercer Executive Search. He obtained a degree in Accounting, but started recruiting in 1995. He places professionals in various types of positions, but mostly in Accounting, Finance, Marketing, Administration, HR, and Logistics and feels fortunate to be in a position to help others.

Cade works in construction management for Vaughn Construction. He is currently working on a project in the heart of Dallas that, at completion in 2031, will be the largest new-build pediatric hospital in the country.

What is their favorite LSU memory?

Shea - "The Earthquake Game. I was a student and the catch was right in front of me. There are so many more, but this game was incredible."

Cade: "My entire life has been filled with LSU. From coming home from the hospital in LSU attire, to growing up watching and attending countless games and events, to fulfilling the dream walking across the stage in the PMAC - many great memories with LSU at the center. I loved afternoons in Alex Box Stadium and time spent with incredible fellow Tigers. The moment that will always stick with me is the football game against Alabama in 2022, aka the Earthquake Game 2.0. It's special because Dad's favorite memory was as a student for the iconic Earthquake Game against Auburn."

Why do they support LSU Alumni Association, Dallas Chapter?

Shea: "It is important to me to be part of the chapter to give back. Being a part of the LSU family -is just different- and we all know it. It's very meaningful, and fun, to meet people in the area that went to LSU, or they are from Louisiana, and there is an immediate bond. There is not another school that has what we have, and I will always do what I can to help promote our great university."

Cade: "With Dad being heavily involved and serving multiple terms on the board, I have sort of been a part of the Dallas Alumni Chapter since before I was a student. The amazing part is that even in a big city in a different state, the chapter allows for us Tigers to stay close and keep that special bond that only we know. Attending the events and watching the LSU family grow as we support the incoming students is rewarding and meaningful to me."

💜💛THANK YOU to Shea and Cade for their passion and support in giving back to LSU and Happy Father's Day! Join them and our TX Tiger team in Dallas:

🤩Shout out to one of our newest LSU Alumni Dallas sponsors, Hancock Whitney!

Our sponsors help us support LSU students from the DFW area. We attend college nights, host an annual send-off for new students and families, raise funds year round for scholarships, and more. If you would like to sponsor our Dallas Chapter, contact Bruce Emery, Sponsorship Chair [email protected]

💜💛Thank you to Hancock Whitney Bank!

We are proud to spotlight our Dallas Chapter Member and Sponsorship Chair, Bruce Emery!

Bruce first joined the LSU Alumni Association in LSU Houston and helped with the golf tournament and college nights back in 1990. He was a member in Little Rock for a few years, moved back to Texas in 2013 and found the Dallas Chapter where he served on the crawfish boil committee and eventually as Chapter President.

Bruce retired in 2020 as Director of Sales and Supply Chain Procurement for a Veteran owned small business that served defense prime contractors, managing a national team of 12 with sales volume of $25M. He is the Chairman of the Bedford City Planning & Zoning Commission and actively supports the sr. center.

His favorite memories at LSU? Being on campus walking the Quad, lunch in the Union, studying at the Indian mounds, handball in the armory, and drinks at Magoo's. He was a member of the marketing fraternity doing surveys and selling discount cards to students.

Every football game is a memory for Bruce - from Burt Jones, Robiskie, Jacob Hester, to Burrow. Thanksgiving when Alabama came to town, the high scoring game against Auburn, taking family for their first Tiger games and staying at The Cook for post game chicken!

For Bruce being part of the LSU Alumni Association Dallas Chapter means making a difference for students from North Texas with the scholarships the Chapter has funded from the crawfish boils, auctions, and sponsorships over many years. Keeping that legacy going is what motivates him to do what he can in support.

Participating in the college nights and summer send-offs continues to be his favorite activity to meet and share with students and their families the great experiences and benefits from becoming an LSU Tiger. He always travels with some Tiger gear on and it is amazing how often there is a Geaux Tigers called out anywhere he has been, - especially in DFW.

Bruce states "the great experiences from being at LSU are a life long thing that becomes a part of who we are. It's always a great day to be a Tiger!"

Thank you Bruce for all you do for LSU and our Dallas Chapter!
