LSU Agriculture: Winning for Louisiana
Earlier this year, I was honored to be chosen to officially lead the LSU AgCenter and LSU College of Agriculture as the permanent vice president and dean. I am eager to elevate Louisiana agriculture through LSU’s Scholarship First Agenda. LSU President William F. Tate IV recognized agriculture as one of the five priorities areas that will drive excellence for LSU, Louisiana and beyond. Our cover story focuses on agriculture in Louisiana and also reaches into the other four LSU priority areas: biomedical, coast, defense/cybersecurity and energy.
