2024 Scholarship First Bus Tour | Full Recap
LSU President William F. Tate IV embarked on the second Scholarship First Bus Tour from October 15-18 with a goal to align LSU's priorities with the state’s needs, demonstrate the many ways its research supports Louisiana’s people and economy, and explore new pathways that drive even greater impact. Powered by A. Wilbert’s Sons, the bus covered nearly 1,000 miles in four days, bringing President Tate and the LSU team around the state for hands-on opportunities to experience some of Louisiana’s leading industries.๐โถ๏ธ: https://www.lsu.edu/president/tour/index.php
