LSU, represented by two teams, attended the 2024 LASHRM Case Competition. The teams were made up of students from the School of Leadership and Human Resource Development and the Rucks School of Management. At the conclusion of the event, one LSU team landed 2nd place in the state-wide event.

Tracey Rizzuto, professor in the School of Leadership & Human Resource Development, is LSU PI, and Christiane Spitzmüeller, professor at UC Merced, is the lead investigator for the $4.5 million NSF grant that will create a Center for Equity in Faculty Advancement.

LSU is proud of its world-class faculty, and we are pleased to announce the College of Human Sciences & Education's faculty honored as this year's recipients of university-wide distinguished faculty awards. Congratulations.

I have learned so much about how we can collectively make an impact on our world, and those impacts have to happen by being globally engaged.
