BATON ROUGE – Beginning this week, LSU will hold a weekly virtual press briefing on
the university’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Each week LSU administrators will
be available to provide an update on the fall semester, testing protocols, positive
cases among the LSU community and how the university is working through a combination
of remote and on-campus learning. In addition, LSU administrators will be joined periodically
by subject matter experts from the university who are studying various aspects of
the COVID-19 pandemic.
This week’s briefing will be given by interim LSU President Tom Galligan and will be held at 3 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 2. The meeting will be held on Zoom, and media participating will be able to ask questions either utilizing the chat function or directly to Galligan.
