In Memoriam
To honor the memory and accomplishments of our faculty, The Office of Academic Affairs ensures that memorials are prepared for each LSU faculty member who was either an active or retired member of our academic community upon his or her death. The links (if available) contain brief biographical information, links to tributes and obituaries, and when possible bibliographies of the individual's articles, books, and book chapters. Memorials are post by year in alphabetical order. If you have questions about the memorials or would like to submit items for consideration, please email facultysenate@lsu.edu.
