A Conversation with LSU Leaders

Advancing Academic Excellence Through Philanthropy

Philanthropy plays a defining role in achieving academic excellence and expanding opportunity. In a candid, conversational video, LSU System President Wade Rousse and LSU Executive Vice President & Chancellor James Dalton share their perspectives on the importance and impact of donor support. 

Both leaders are first-generation college graduates who have a deeply personal understanding of the transformative impact of access to higher education. Their dialogue reflects a shared commitment to student success, faculty excellence, and building teams that win in Louisiana, for the world. 

As you watch the video, we invite you to consider how your interests and values align with LSU’s vision for the future.
