Campus Involvement Resources
National Board members bring talents and direct impact to students, faculty, and the LSU community. National Board Members have opportunities to engage with the campus community through both exclusive National Board events and individualized opportunities tailored to each member’s areas of passion and expertise.
Strategic National Board Campus Involvement Goals:
- Create connections with students who are actively pursuing involvement in philanthropy.
- Build valuable relationships with graduates who are starting their careers in geographic regions relative to National Board members.
