The changing economy and technological advances make today's job market increasingly global and competitive. To better meet the needs of students, alumni and employers, LSU broke ground on Thursday, May 10, for the new LSU Olinde Career Center, the future home of LSU Career Services.

The LSU Olinde Career Center will bring together Career Services' two current locations in a new state-of-the-art environment better suited to prepare LSU students and alumni for their careers. It is thanks to a generous gift from the Olinde family that construction can start later this year on the center, which will be located in the LSU Student Union in the site of the current bookstore.
