President Tate's Scholarship First Agenda: LSU's fierce drive for excellence is rooted in our mission to impact and serve Louisiana—providing pathways to higher learning, addressing critical problems through ground-breaking research and discovery, and bettering the lives of citizens in every parish. Louisiana is at the center of many of our nation’s core challenges and opportunities because of our geography, culture, and economy.  LSU— through the collaborative teamwork of all of our campuses—will create solutions essential to the future of our state and nation. As identified by President Tate during a state-wide listening and learning tour, we have the people and expertise to solve problems related to food and fiber production, health, our coast, defense, and energy, and to realize the many opportunities they present. But our commitment doesn’t stop here. Our vision is aspirational, and we embrace the responsibility of ascending to our potential. In service to our state, LSU is committed to achieving excellence in all areas—for our students’ success and to elevate Louisiana for the benefit of all. 

Biomedical: Every endeavor we undertake is contingent upon our health. With eight institutions spanning Louisiana and all levels of higher education and research, LSU is well poised to help meet the challenge of improving the state’s health outcomes head-on. We will bring together top talent and resources, ranging from clinical research to artificial intelligence. Together with our partners, we will pursue National Cancer Institute designation to ensure that sustained, premier cancer care and research are accessible for every Louisianan close to home.  Learn more.
