Another successful SASP session, where Brad Jones, Assistant Director of Student Support Services, hosted “Fun Math with Brad.”

We loved getting hands-on with math alongside our student-athletes and showing them how engaging and interactive learning can be! 💡🧮

Introducing our June Student-Athletes of the month. As we continue through this summer session, these students have continuously stood out throughout the spring and summer.

Great work, and congratulations to you all! 🎓📚

SASP Week 2 is in the books! 📚

This week, our new student-athletes had the opportunity to hear from an outstanding faculty panel featuring Dr. Ashley Bowers, Mark Fry, Susan Sykes, and Dr. Douglas Waddell, who answered thoughtful questions on navigating the academic experience at LSU.

We also welcomed representatives from LSU’s Student Advocacy & Accountability department, who discussed the importance of integrity, and making responsible decisions throughout their academic journey.

Thank you to our presenters for helping set our newest Tigers up for success as they are beginning their journey at LSU.
