TRANSCRIPT
The LSU Quadrangle on a spring afternoon.
Dear LSU Parents & Families,
Welcome to the LSU family! We couldn’t be more excited
that your student has selected LSU as his or her alma
mater. A college degree has never been more important to
the future of our younger generation, and LSU offers both
an exceptional education and a campus experience second
to none.
Our students have never been more accomplished,
receiving as many national accolades as those attending
Ivy League schools while paying affordable tuition that
won’t commit them to a life of debt. In fact, our in-state
tuition is 22% lower than the average charged by flagship
universities, and our students graduate with 46% less student debt than the national
average. However, none of this matters if our students don’t finish their degrees. And
we know that no matter what a student’s major, everyone needs a little support along
the path toward graduation. That’s why we offer extensive support services, including
our renowned Center for Academic Success, which offers personalized study plans and
tutoring, among other programs.
Our Olinde Career Center provides interview training, resume workshops, networking
opportunities, and more to make certain that your student graduates with the skills
needed to land a job. Pair this with the fact that our alumni earn starting and mid-career
salaries higher than those of many of our flagship university peers and it’s safe to say that
your Tiger will start his or her professional life heading in the right direction.
On the lighter side of things, LSU offers more than 400 organizations, so everyone can
find something they’re interested in to engage with other like-minded students. Our
top-notch Student Recreational Center is also a great resource for students to burn off
calories, participate in group sports, and engage in healthy lifestyle choices that will
follow them throughout their lives.
There are so many great things going on at LSU, and we can’t wait for your Tiger to
become a part of them. Remember, the path toward graduation starts today.
Geaux Tigers!
Sincerely,
F. King Alexander
LSU President and Chancellor
Dear LSU Parents & Families,
As the parent of two recent college graduates, I know firsthand
the logistical planning that goes into selecting a college and
moving a student to campus. Every student is different, and
certainly my son and daughter had different, but extremely
positive, college experiences. One thing is certain--I am very
glad that your child decided to come to LSU!
I believe the LSU experience is unmatched. We have
passionate and expert faculty who care deeply about student
success. To get the full LSU experience, a student needs to
be fully engaged or involved in various campus activities.
LSU offers over 400 student organizations, and I strongly
encourage your student to take advantage--whether academic, religious, service, Greek,
athletic, intramural, or special interest hobbies. National research has shown that
students who are more involved on campus actually get better grades and graduate in
higher percentages.
In addition to student organizations, our campus offers a number of cultural events and
activities and our athletic events that are second to none. The spirit and enthusiasm that
comes with watching Tiger football, baseball, basketball, soccer, and our many Olympic
sports is contagious. Check them out at lsu.edu/calendar.
Also, be sure to visit our brand new comprehensive Olinde Career Center in the Student
Union, as well as the Geaux Center, our recently opened welcome facility there. We are
also doubling the size of our Recreation Complex with a massive facelift and expansion.
Above all, remember the true goal of all our students (and their parents!) is graduation,
walking across the stage in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center (PMAC) to receive a
diploma. I encourage you and your student to keep your “eye on the prize!”
I hope you have had a chance to meet many of our dedicated staff in Student Life &
Enrollment Services who strongly believe their number one goal is to help students be
successful. Visit lsu.edu/studentlife to learn more about our departments. Feel free to
contact us at 225-578-8607 or [email protected].
Geaux Tigers!
Sincerely,
Kurt J. Keppler

Please enjoy this keepsake calendar, which showcases our pride in the beauty of our campus, student achievements, and groundbreaking innovation. We strive to provide a college experience unrivaled by any other.
This year, we have featured the LSU Official Fight Song, "Fight For LSU," throughout the calendar. For each month, a line of the Fight Song has been included at the bottom of each picture. We hope these words will resonate with you and remind you of your student’s journey, in which you play an integral role. As partners in your child’s education, we welcome you to the LSU family and look forward to the years ahead.
Forever LSU,LSU Parent & Family Programs Staff
Family Involvement Opportunities
The Family Association is dedicated to helping families with their transition into the University and offering support, information, and problem solving throughout a student’s career at LSU. The Family Association offers opportunities for parents to more closely partner with the University in their student’s experience. We can help lead your family to LSU services and resources that will allow you to support your student.
The Family Association supports student success and promotes the University’s goal to retain students through financial support of programs and scholarships made possible through development efforts.
In addition to scholarships and other programs, we also plan events throughout the year. One of our major events is Fall Family Weekend had in conjunction with a home football game. We also encourage you to make plans to visit campus during the Spring Family Event held in conjunction with home baseball games. These two events are great opportunities to visit campus and your student.
We invite all families to participate in all of our events as attendees and as volunteers. Here are other ways of contributing to the success of The Family Association:
• Volunteering at orientation to connect with parents of incoming LSU students and recruit new Family Association members.
• Volunteering at or hosting a Summer Send-Off to help students and parents get to know one another in their hometowns.
• Donating an item to support the Family Weekend Silent Auction.
• Giving back to the Family Association to help our emergency support fund, scholarship fund, and various Family Association programs. Please visit family.lsu.edu/giving for more information.

Excitement is building as the first day of the new year quickly approaches. Along with excitement, you and your student may also be experiencing anxiety, nervousness, and uneasiness about this new chapter. While spending the final days with your students before the big move, make sure to listen to concerns and needs, help them realize that they can overcome any situation, and remind them that you will always be there for them.

As the semester begins, your student may experience a multitude of situations and emotions. The newfound freedom that your student now has will be a major adjustment, not only on their part, but also on your part. Remember to work with your student and communicate. You may feel compelled to set up a time where you and your student will talk on the phone, which will become routine. In communication, remember to ask open-ended questions, which will get your student talking, and stay interested in their stories to show them your interest.

Exams are quickly approaching, and this means that stress and anxiety could slowly be setting in for your student. The concern of doing well on their exams is a situation that will last throughout their entire collegiate career. It is best to remind students that there are resources offered around campus to help or assist them. The Center for Academic Success is dedicated to helping students understand how to study college material and work on their planning and organization skills, as well as providing necessary tutors in subjects considered difficult.

Cold, flu, and strep season is here, and college students are prime targets for contracting one of these illnesses. Staying cautious of what students are touching, where they are going, and what vitamins/foods they are taking in can help students avoid these illnesses. However, some students are not so lucky, and inevitably, end up with the common cold or flu. Students who are not feeling well have the opportunity to go to the LSU Student Health Center for free checkups and doctor visits. The LSU Student Health Center can conduct many tests, run labs, and even provide your student with the necessary pharmaceutical drugs they need to get better before coming home for Thanksgiving break.

The first semester of college is now over and your student is returning home. Upon finishing finals, your student may feel exhausted and tired from the craziness of the semester. They may want to only relax or sleep when they first arrive home. Your excitement to see them again may be bursting at the seams, but we encourage you to work with them and make plans in advance so that they can prepare for events throughout the break, while still getting some much needed relaxation.

The winter break is now over and it is time to head back to school. Excitement and nervousness still fill the air for the start to the second semester; however, this time there is a feeling of determination and drive added. Encourage your student to work on the difficult situations dealt with during the first semester and tackle responsibilities head-on. Being a coach or mentor during this stage in their collegiate career can be extremely beneficial because you will be able to be an active part of their lives while letting them take control of handling situations and gaining valuable experience.

Most companies and businesses whom are looking to hire students right out of college focus on internships and active participation in their communities. It is never too early to start thinking about applying for summer opportunities. Some opportunities will be unpaid and some will be paid; however, the skills that a student will gain from these positions will not only help them in the classroom, but it will also help them determine exactly what they are interested in doing, all while giving them valuable experience and expertise.

As students make their way into the month of March, they may notice the need to live off of campus for the next year. Planning and deciding where to live next year can cause a student major stress. We encourage you to help them determine their living situation. You and your student can decide which on- or off-campus accomidation would be best for them. Please keep in mind the need for transportation to and from campus, who to room with, and the total cost of the apartment, and the various amenities.

It is smart to remind your students to stay safe and cautious of where they are going and what they are doing. Also, remind your students that when they return from Spring Break vacation, finals will be quickly approaching. Encourage them to use some of their time during the break to study or organize the materials needed for their classes so that their lives will be a little less stressful upon returning to college.

the realization of returning home and not seeing friends, they have grown close to throughout the year may start to set in for some students. On top of this realization, your students may also find it difficult to reconnect with some of their friends who chose a different college. It is best to listen to their worries and concerns, while stressing the importance of communication with friends from college. Reminding them of the good times had with friends who did not go to the same college may help rekindle important friendships over the summer.

Involvement is key to being successful in college. Throughout your student's first year at LSU, he or she may have felt compelled to focus on schoolwork and social life more than involvement.

As the summer comes to a close, your students may start to experience summer boredom or the desire to head back to campus. The idea of seeing college friends again and continuing with their collegiate career may start to bring major excitement. However, sometimes your student may start to worry about their sophomore year and question choices about major, living, or friendships. The ‘second-year slump’ can cause students to feel lost, confused, or even depressed. Talk to your student about these issues and remind them that you are there for them, and that these feelings are normal for all college students.

“When Cameron decided to attend LSU, it was a happy day in
our household! Then reality began to set in. While Cam began
daydreaming about moving out and being an adult, we daydreamed
about when he was a little baby, our only child, looking to us to
fulfill his every need. He wanted independence and we wanted
to stay involved in his life. Surely there was a way to meet in
the middle….? Then we attended Family Orientation, which is
put together by the wonderful staff of the LSU Parent & Family
Programs. Suddenly we felt like we were part of the process, 'in
the loop'. We learned so much about what our Tiger would be
experiencing, from scheduling classes to experiencing life in the
Residential Halls. Our questions were answered and we left
content in the knowledge that if we had additional questions, the
staff was just a phone call away. After this experience, joining the
LSU Family Association was a no-brainer. The biggest perk for us
is the opportunity to attend the fall and spring family events, where
we can meet Cameron’s friends and their families. This led us
to join the Family Association Council, where we have the great
honor of meeting other parents, sharing our experiences and letting
everyone know how easy it is to LOVE PURPLE and LIVE GOLD with
our Tigers!”
