When was the last time you had your hearing checked?

Whether you’re experiencing ringing in your ears, trouble hearing in class, frequently asking people to repeat themselves, or simply want peace of mind, a hearing check is a quick way to stay on top of your hearing health.

The LSU Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic provides professional audiology services through graduate clinicians under the direct supervision of licensed and certified audiology faculty.

FREE FOR LSU STUDENTS 👂💜
No cost. Just a quick check to make sure your hearing is where it should be.

We are wrapping up Welcome Week by connecting our newest HSS Tigers with opportunities to explore pre-law at LSU. ⚖️💜

At our HSS Pre-Law Bootcamp, first-year students got a head start on their journey to law school by learning about both the traditional four-year pathway and the HSS 3+3 Pre-Law Program. Current law students shared advice on making the transition to law school, while the LSU Law Admissions team offered insight into becoming a strong law school applicant.

From faculty and staff across HSS and LSU Law, including Jennifer Braud, LSU’s Pre-Law Advisor, students have support to explore their interests and plan their next steps.

Curious about pre-law? Learn more at lsu.edu/prelaw.

Welcome to HSS, Tigers! 💜💛

Professor of Sociology Tim Slack has been elected to serve as the next president of the Rural Sociological Society, recognizing the national significance of his scholarship and highlighting LSU’s leadership in advancing insight into rural communities. Through decades of work examining economic change, poverty, population trends, disaster recovery, and community resilience, Slack has deepened both academic and public understanding of issues affecting Louisiana, the Gulf South, and rural regions nationwide. His leadership will help shape important conversations about the future of rural America while further elevating LSU’s role in producing research that informs policy, strengthens communities, and creates impact far beyond campus.

Department of Geography & Anthropology Chair Dr. Jill Trepanier provides expert analysis of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) 2026 Atlantic hurricane season forecast, which calls for slightly below-average activity with 8–14 named storms and 1–3 major hurricanes (Category 3+), compared to a historical average of about 14 named storms.

Dr. Trepanier explains that expected strong vertical wind shear across the Atlantic and the influence of El Niño are among the factors contributing to NOAA’s forecast. However, she emphasizes that a below-average forecast does not eliminate the threat to Gulf Coast communities. Warm Gulf waters can still fuel rapid intensification, and a single storm can have significant impacts regardless of overall seasonal activity.

Hurricane season runs from June 1 through November 30.
