209 Students Earn the LSU Communicator Certificate in Spring 2026

May 22, 2026

LSU Communication Across the Curriculum (CxC) is proud to announce that 209 students earned the LSU Communicator Certificate at the close of the Spring 2026 semester—bringing the program's total to 1,719 recipients since its launch in Fall 2018.

The LSU Communicator Certificate is a non-degree certificate issued by CxC on behalf of the Office of Academic Affairs. The certificate recognizes undergraduate students who have demonstrated competency in written, spoken, visual, and technological communication within their disciplines. Open to students across all majors and colleges, the certificate demonstrates that communication is not a skill reserved for any one field—it's essential to all of them.

To earn the certificate, students must complete a series of Communication-Intensive (C-I) courses with a grade of B- or higher, earning credits across four communication modes. The final step is a written reflection in which students articulate what they've learned and how they plan to apply those skills beyond LSU. These reflections consistently reveal something CxC hears again and again: that C-I coursework doesn't just build resumes—it builds confidence. Students describe their C-I experiences as the catalyst for presenting at research conferences, writing for discipline-specific publications, and taking on challenges they wouldn't have imagined before.

This semester's recipients will also receive a digital badge alongside their certificate—now in its second semester as a companion to this recognition. A recent study from the American Association of Colleges & Universities (AAC&U) found that 81% of employers say a candidate's possession of a microcredential positively influences their hiring decisions. The badge gives recipients a portable, shareable way to showcase what they've earned as they move into their careers.

Join us in congratulating the 209 Spring 2026 LSU Communicator Certificate recipients. A full list of past recipients can be found at cxc.lsu.edu.
