Presidential Laurels

Celebrating Faculty Excellence
The Presidential Laurels were created in 2022 by the LSU President and the LSU Boyd Professors to celebrate faculty from across the LSU family of institutions. These Laurels recognize top performers in their fields who have received major national or international awards. Potential honorees are considered by nomination. The final selection is made by the Boyd Professors, holders of the highest and most prestigious academic rank at LSU.

FACULTY AWARD RECIPIENTS
University Faculty Awards honor faculty members who exemplify excellence in teaching, research, and community engagement. Their stories epitomize the goals of discovery and creativity and are nested within the vision and goals of our strategic plan.

ALUMNI PROFESSORS
Selection as an Alumni Professor is based on reputation for excellence in instruction, especially in undergraduate teaching; record of active and continuing interest and participation in areas of professor-student relations; dedication to an academic field; and outstanding professional relationships with other faculty and staff members.
