Bengal Bound – an LSU Tradition
Bengal Bound is the new student welcome week for the fall semester. It is a time where the campus community unites to welcome new Tigers to campus. Students have time to become better acquainted with campus, the Baton Rouge community, and their new classmates.
The program begins with “Roaring into the Halls” and concludes with the Chancellor’s Welcome. There are numerous activities coordinated to expand upon what you learned during orientation, showcase campus services, and allow students meet and relax before the start of classes. Workshops, service opportunities, and residence hall socials are a just a few of the events that take place.
Take some time and explore the Bengal Bound site at http://www.lsu.edu/bengalbound. The resources available on this site will better inform you on services designed for your success.
