CALLING ALL GRADUATES!
Get your picture taken in Tiger Stadium on May 15th from 9 AM - 2 PM. 💜🎓

The hugs, the calls, the encouragement, the unwavering support — Tiger moms do it all! 💜💛 Wishing a very Happy Mother’s Day to all the women who pour into our students!

It’s one of the best days of the year – a time to celebrate the love, strength, and support of all our Tiger moms! 💜 Happy Mother’s Day to the moms, grandmas, and motherly figures who cheer on our Tigers through it all!

Happy Mother's Day, Tigers. 💜

Move-out season is almost here! As your student starts packing up, encourage them to donate gently used items to the LSU Global Community Center Swap Shop instead of throwing them away. From kitchen supplies to bedding and small household items, donations make a real difference!

Move Out Drive Dates:
Now – May 4: Drop off at the LSU Global Community Center
May 4–11: Look for donation bins around their on-campus housing community

👉 Share this with your student and remind them: if they don’t need it, another Tiger might!

Finals week is almost here, and we’ve got a great way for your Tiger to take a well-deserved break! Encourage your student to stop by the Chancellor’s Late Night Breakfast tonight for good food, a study break, and time with friends before the final push!

🕙 10 p.m. – midnight
This event is free and open to all LSU students. Tiger Card required for entry.

A little encouragement from home can go a long way – remind your Tiger to refuel and recharge tonight!
