Chatsworth Plantation encompassed 575 acres of land along Nicholson Drive dating back to the 19th century. The plantation house, which is no longer standing, is pictured above. LSU’s College of Engineering held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the grand opening of the new Chevron Reservoir Characterization Lab on the third floor of Patrick F. Taylor Hall on Wednesday, March 21.
Chevron's gift to LSU is a continuation of its relationship with the university and part of the company's University Partnership Program, affecting multiple programs at LSU. While the lab program will be based in the Craft & Hawkins Department of Petroleum Engineering, it will benefit students in petroleum engineering, geology and geophysics. The Chevron Reservoir Characterization Lab is a facility for interdisciplinary research and teaching in the College of Engineering, with an emphasis on advancing the art and practice of oil and gas reservoir modeling. The Chevron Reservoir Characterization Lab includes a high-resolution video wall with rendering server, high performance workstations and a storage array.
On Wednesday, March 21, the LSU Student Health Center hosted the 29th annual Wellness Fair in the Royal Cotillion Ballroom in the LSU Student Union.

At the Wellness Fair, health and wellness agencies provided free information and health screenings including those for heart rate, blood pressure, glucose, vision, height, weight, cholesterol, body mass and HIV.
