Introduction
LSU needs your support to ensure our continued success in the pursuit of excellence and academic distinction among universities worldwide. This quest will ensure more students, faculty and staff, and members of our greater community are afforded the LSU experience—an experience rich in promise, opportunities, service, and tradition. When completed, Forever LSU: The Campaign for Louisiana State University will advance the National Flagship Agenda and position LSU—including the LSU AgCenter and the LSU Law Center—to compete on all levels with the nation’s best public universities.
A successful fundraising campaign will increase the value of all LSU degrees by committing itself to the following objectives:
- Produce enlightened and engaged citizen leaders by fostering critical thinking, ethical reflection, technological prowess, historical understanding, and artistic/cultural appreciation;
- Advance knowledge and intellectual inquiry by promoting groundbreaking research;
- Enhance Louisiana’s economic development by converting scientific and technological discoveries into new products and processes; by preparing a labor force; and by applying University resources to solve economic, environmental, and educational challenges;
- Elevate LSU’s schools, colleges, and academic programs to new and greater levels of national distinction;
- Provide more opportunities to students in financial need by increasing the number and value of need-based scholarships, fellowships, and assistantships.
