Colleagues,
We not only made it through quite a semester—we excelled! We started with our largest,
most qualified and diverse class and ended with our largest ever fall graduating class!
The moments in between were filled with our faculty, staff and students racking up
countless accolades, ranging from a new Boyd Professor to major books published and
research grants awarded to numerous students earning prestigious medals of recognition
for their demonstration of academic excellence. Excellence in scholarship and learning
is our normal mode of operation, and we delivered as always.
As we break for the holidays, the Office of Academic Affairs wishes you all a joyous
and healthy holiday season! The new year is looking promising as we press forward
and continue our pursuit of excellence on all fronts. Thank you for all that you have
done to make this a banner year for our amazing institution, and as always….Geaux
Tigers!
Best,
Matt Lee
Interim Executive Vice President & Provost
About the Student Artist:
Nyako Arana is a third-year LSU student majoring in Digital Art. She was born in San
Diego, CA and moved to Louisiana when she was 14. She enjoys engaging in all kinds
of digital media including animation, design, illustration, sculpting, and coding.
Her hope is that she can use these skills to work at a video game company, and maybe
even develop her own independent video games someday.

Power-Based Violence Prevention & Response Training
On Oct. 1, the university rolled out a new Power-Based Violence Prevention & Response

Sexual Misconduct Training for 2021 and have your certificate, you do not need to
take this course, but you must complete the Mandatory Reporting mini-course which
presents current information about employee legal responsibilities.
Digital Resource and Content Accessibility
To satisfy the federal requirement, LSU has created the e-course, Digital Resource
and Content Accessibility Awareness. This course will teach employees about the federal
statutes and institutional policy governing digital resource and content accessibility,
and the tools available to ensure the proactive accessibility of digital resources
and content.
The Louisiana Code of Governmental Ethics, Louisiana Board of Ethics
In response to Louisiana Revised Statute 42:1170, all public employees are required
to complete one hour of training on the Code of Governmental Ethics each calendar
