2024 Leadership LSU Cohort
May 16, 2024
LSU has recognized 16 students as the Class of 2024 for Leadership LSU, an annual
program coordinated by LSU Campus Life. The cohort was honored at a closing lunch
on April 25, where each participant received a Leadership LSU stole.
In its 34th year, this LSU tradition provides juniors, seniors, and graduate students
the opportunity to develop and apply their leadership at elevated levels while in
their final semesters at LSU. Participants chosen for the Leadership LSU Cohort exhibit
the capacity to learn and impact others positively through their leadership experiences.
The cohort met weekly to explore how to become actively engaged, integrity-driven,
and purposeful contributors to both the LSU community and society at large. Students
wrapped up the semester by presenting solutions to various community issues.
