Recognizing Faculty Excellence

LSU faculty serve as the keystone of our campus community, much like the central stone at the summit of an arch that holds the entire structure together. Just as the keystone distributes weight and ensures stability in an arch, our faculty provide the essential support and guidance that propels our university forward. They are the backbone of our educational mission, inspiring students, conducting groundbreaking research, and contributing to the vibrant intellectual and cultural life of our community. The keystone theme is represented in the awards and other materials throughout the ceremony.
