Introducing the Leadership LSU Spring 2022 Cohort

BATON ROUGE – LSU has recognized 24 students as the Spring Cohort Class of 2022 for Leadership LSU, an annual program coordinated by LSU Campus Life.

In its 33rd year, this LSU tradition provides juniors, seniors and graduate students the opportunity to develop and apply their leadership at high levels while in their final semesters at LSU. Participants chosen for the Leadership LSU Spring Cohort exhibit the capacity to learn and impact others positively through their leadership experiences. 

The curriculum of Leadership LSU is based in adaptive leadership through group discussion and extracurricular lectures with LSU and community leaders. By the end of the program, students have learned how to identify adaptive leadership challenges, address social issues with the community, recognize the opportunities that come from an adaptive leadership experience and support the Leadership LSU peer network.
