MESSAGE

You can feel it in the air here in Baton Rouge

A new era has dawned upon LSU, with its new administration, both in academia and in sports, where Tiger fans greatly anticipate this 2026 edition of the LSU Fighting Tigers Football Team.

With one eye on the future, in this issue, we look back at the evolution of the LSU Fighting Tigers’ football uniforms as well as the evolution of student dress, from military uniforms to pressed khakis to today’s leisure wear styles. James Gregory, director of the LSU Brookshire Military Museum, celebrates 100 years of the LSU Corps of Cadets with a story and photos.

There are changes and growth everywhere in the LSU System, from LSU Health Sciences Shreveport to the addition of the former University of New Orleans, which became LSU New Orleans on July 1. In this issue, we speak with Dr. Lester Johnson, senior vice chancellor at LSU Health Sciences Shreveport, about the school’s new Research Expansion Project, which gets underway in October. The facility, set to open by the end of 2028, will feature 181,000 square feet of open floor space for modern research labs flexibly designed for future growth.

The Burden Welcome Center opened here in Baton Rouge to much fanfare. Delta Tau Delta fraternity broke ground on a new fraternity house on West Lakeshore Drive. And, the list goes on and on.

It’s an exciting time to be an LSU alumnus! Join us as we continue on this exciting ride. Dr. Johnson nailed it when he said: “I’ve been around for a long time and participated in a number of different ‘LSU No. 1’ attempts. This is the best one. We have the right leadership at the right moment in the right environment.”

Geaux Tigers!

July 1 was an important date for LSU as the former University of New Orleans joined the LSU System, becoming LSU New Orleans.

LSU President Wade Rousse, who earned his master’s degree in business from the University of New Orleans, was on hand for the ceremonial transition.

“We all have a goal to get enrollment back to 6,000 students in the fall,” said President Rousse. “We are laser-focused on that goal, and we have a budget built for that enrollment that would allow us to have a positive cash balance and get through the 2026-2027 academic year and start to rebuild what we think can be something incredible.”

July 1 also marked the official retirement date of LSUA Chancellor Paul Coreil after eight years in that role, 13 years at LSUA, and more than 43 years of service to the LSU System.

As one of LSU’s biggest sports fans, Rousse was also on hand to celebrate LSU Softball’s Regional Tournament victory in Tiger Park and its return to the Super Regionals.

The President was also among LSU Basketball backers for a special dinner and presentation by LSU Head Basketball Coach Will Wade, held at The Supper Club in Baton Rouge.

Back on campus, Rousse joined Delta Tau Delta fraternity members and other dignitaries to break ground for the fraternity’s new home along West Lakeshore Drive. That house will be the first Greek home built from the ground up in more than a decade.

LSU Chancellor Dalton travels to educational venues from arts to sciences

From the

CHANCELLOR

Jim Dalton, LSU executive vice president and chancellor, said the opening of the Burden Welcome Center marks a significant milestone for Burden, providing much-needed shared spaces for people to connect with one another, the outdoors, and Louisiana traditions.

“Burden Museum & Gardens is one of the clearest examples of LSU’s statewide mission in action,” he said. “It serves as a public-facing extension of the university, bringing education, research, preservation and outreach beyond the classroom and into everyday life. Families, school groups, academic researchers and other visitors from across Louisiana and beyond come here to both learn, explore and experience the rich heritage of this great state.”

Dalton also met with staff at the LSU Museum of Art, toured the prestigious Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), attended the LSU Faculty Awards, and participated in media interviews, including one at TigerTV.

While Gage Heiserman did not initially envision climbing onto roofs as part of his daily job routine, he wouldn’t have it any other way.

Heiserman (2024 BACH BUS) works for Lifetime Roofing as a project manager, marketing manager, and salesman.

Originally from the DMV (D.C., Maryland, and Virginia) area in northern Virginia, Heiserman grew up with a love for football and, by the time he was in high school, he knew he wanted to attend a university with a very strong football culture. It took one weekend trip to Baton Rouge for him to realize this is where he wanted to go.

Heiserman also had incredible academic experiences, especially with Timothy Rakitan, Energy Economics professor.

“I have never had a professor teach in such a practical and engaging way where the concepts we learned could be applied directly to real world situations,” Heiserman said. “Because of his teaching style, I now find myself viewing everyday events through the lens of an economist.”

LSU helped Heiserman step out of his comfort zone, build confidence and learn how to connect to people from all walks of life. He was homeschooled for his grade school education, and the social opportunities LSU offers were extremely beneficial for human development.

“There are so many opportunities and experiences available to students, from the excitement of football game days in the fall to grabbing a tray of crawfish during baseball season in the spring.”

SIEDDA HINES

When former NCAA Track & Field Champion Siedda Hines (2013 BACH HS&E) graduated from LSU, she didn’t expect to work in real estate finance, but LSU gave her the tools to adapt and pursue her professional career with both competence and confidence.

Hines was part of the LSU Lady Tigers Indoor Track & Field championship team in 2012 — her junior year — but she was also an SEC Champion, three-time All-American, and received three-time SEC Academic Honors. She competed on the 4x400 relay team throughout her collegiate career. She swept both the SEC and NCAA championships in Outdoor Track & Field in 2012 and was instrumental in the team’s success. “[LSU] put me in an environment that demanded excellence, from academics to athletics to personal growth,” Hines said. “I knew LSU would challenge me, and that’s exactly what I needed!”

From the Greater Baton Rouge area, Hines said LSU felt like home even before she set foot on campus. For the past seven years, Hines has worked in real estate finance as a mortgage loan officer with GMFS Mortgage. Hines said she is part of the Larussa Team, which has financed over $100 million in sales during her time there.

“I am also stepping into real estate development, which gives me the opportunity to build homes, and then turn around to finance them for first-time homebuyers,” Hines said. By doing this, I am living up to my lifelong model: ‘Where there's no opportunity, create one!’”

Beyond professional endeavors, she also serves in her community. She is involved with the National Coalition of 100 Black Women of Metropolitan Baton Rouge and is a member of the board of directors for Membership Recruitment for the Baton Rouge Chamber of Commerce.

BRYAN WESLEY

In his very first semester, while living in the engineering residential college, he met lifelong best friends and his future wife.

While at LSU, Wesley quickly learned that construction is a team sport, because no one builds anything meaningful alone. It takes an organized team of architects, engineers, subcontractors, owners, and suppliers.

Experiences outside of the classroom helped Wesley learn how to manage a team, whether that was bringing people together or effectively communicating and working towards a common goal — exactly what is done every day in practical construction projects.

“It’s no coincidence that LSU’s CMSA was recently recognized by the Associated Builders and Contractors as the National Student Chapter of the Year for the second time in five years,” Wesley said. “LSU doesn’t just talk about building teams that win: it consistently produces them.”

After graduation, Wesley worked as a project manager for Harvey-Cleary Builders in Houston, which completes more than $2 billion in work annually. In Houston, he first got involved with the LSU Alumni Association as a board member.

He moved back to Baton Rouge in 2019, joining his family business, and became co-owner of Wesley Construction a year later. The business includes commercial construction, complex renovations, and specialized projects. Wesley Construction has done work in 33 states, including Wesley’s favorite project, the renovation of New Orleans’ Roosevelt Hotel.

Bryan Wesley (2014 BACH ENGR) came to LSU, sure of his career path: graduate in construction management, get some experience, and eventually join his dad in Wesley Construction.

He was just as sure of his university choice. Wesley grew up in Baton Rouge. His father, Steve Wesley, graduated from LSU with a construction management degree in 1976. However, Wesley quickly found that LSU offered so much more than a great education.

Alice Kirby

LSU alum captivated by Alaska's whales Alaska is known as the last frontier, with frigid temperatures for most of the year and summer days that don’t seem to end. Alaska is home to some of the most picturesque scenes in the United States, from Denali, “the great one” in the local Koyukon Athabascan language, to the skyscraper-sized glaciers.

This is how LSU Alumna Alice Kirby (1978 BACH AG, 1981 MAST AG) described her recent Alaskan cruise. Not only did she see the beauty of Denali, the highest mountain in North America, but she also remembered the ethereal experience of seeing a group of 14 humpback whales feeding, floating on the water fairly close to the group’s boat.

“Seeing their flukes come out of the water, and then coming out of the water, was awesome. It was absolutely something I’ve never seen before, and there's only a slim likelihood I would ever see that again,” Kirby said. “It truly was about being at the right place at the right time.”

The trip was a 12-day Alaskan cruise for approximately 70 guests, with fewer than 100 people on board, including the crew. Her trip included a boat cruise through the Inside Passage, a 1,000-mile coastal route between Alaska, British Columbia, Canada, and northwestern Washington.

According to Kirby, there was a selection of activities to do each day, kayaking, skiff tours, which is a closer tour of the passage on a smaller boat, and hiking the various islands where the boat would drop anchor. Most of the trip was through pretty remote territory.

“There’s nothing luxurious about where we were staying. But it more than met our needs for being there and why you were there,” Kirby said. “But it had great food. The chef was excellent! Otherwise, I really got to know the people I was staying with because people would gather in common areas such as the bar. You get to know people by name. That and the crew were absolutely fantastic.”

Kirby said the temperatures on the cruise were much cooler than on mainland Alaska: in the low 40s, with the average temperature around 60 degrees, a stark contrast from the oppressive heat and mugginess of Atlanta, Kirby’s hometown.

Once the boat returned to the dock, Kirby took a flight from Juneau to Anchorage. The inland journey began there and then on to Denali via a two-lane Alaskan state highway, similar to LA-327 (River Road) near the LSU campus, and guided by a naturalist.

“We were very fortunate in that we saw many, many moose. We even saw moose with calves. We also saw a bear, Dall Sheep, and caribou. Only two of them, but we saw them.” Kirby said. “The only one of the major five mammals that the naturalist referred to as ‘the big five’ we didn’t see in Denali was a wolf.”

Kirby said a major component of the trip was learning Alaskan history. She learned about the Alaskan Gold Rush and how Americans from parts of the lower 48 states first settled in Alaska. She also learned the history of the indigenous populations.

The other major component of the trip was learning about the natural beauty of the area, from seeing wildlife like bears up close in Denali to flocks of birds resting on the uninhabited islands in the Inside Passage.

“We saw glaciers, which were fantastic. When you’re a quarter-mile from them, taller than a 10-story skyscraper, it sort of puts in perspective the things that you have seen in the pictures, movies, or other National Geographic television series.”

But Kirby said that the highlight of the trip — the part that changed her — was observing the humpback whales feeding.

“It truly felt like an out-of-this-world experience.”

LSU fraternity sets sail on reunion cruise

Twenty-five LSU fraternity alumni and their spouses set sail this spring to celebrate more than 50 years of brotherhood. The Phi Gamma Delta (“Fiji”) members — ranging from 65 to 75 years — and their wives boarded the Norwegian Cruise Line ship “Luna” bound for the Caribbean on a week-long adventure themed “Fiji Island on the Boat.”

The group, which launched its reunion travel series in 2023 started planning the 2026 cruise about 18 months ago.

In all, 51 people made the trip, mostly LSU alumni. Wearing shirts designed

by LSU and Fiji alum Kevin Hersh (1981 BACH A&D), along with LSU lanyards and a variety of purple-and-gold hats and accessories, the group made very sure that the nearly 4,000 passengers aboard the Luna experienced a true LSU takeover!

The trip was planned and executed

by Bruce and Cindy Bacon and Bob and Kat Boccaccio, with a strong assist from David and Karen Sicard.

LSU flag line (now color guard) members celebrated nearly 50 years of friendship with a Caribbean cruise together in May. The group, who twirled flags in the Golden Band from Tigerland between 1978 and 1982, cruised to the Bahamas in a reunion that included plenty of reminiscing and LSU cheers aboard the Royal Caribbean Utopia of the Seas.

Walk the paths of the LSU campus long enough, and you can almost feel ghosts dressed in fabric and silhouettes from previous decades.

This archive of style charts not only fashion but changing values and rituals of student life.

In the university’s earliest years, dress was a statement of military order. Cadet uniforms were seen across the Parade Grounds; high-collared shirts and waistcoats for the men who metriculated in the late 19th century. When female students joined their ranks in 1906, long skirts and Gibson Girl blouses were the norm.

Clothing signaled class, standing, and a student’s role within a highly structured campus. Even casual wear retained a formal air, featuring straw boater hats for summer outings and starched collars for lectures.

The 1920s brought a looser look. Boys loosened ties and rolled up their sleeves, while young women traded ankle-length skirts for shorter hemlines and lighter fabrics.

Along with the Jazz Age, came new shapes and freedom. Dress became less about ritual and more about the pleasure of movement, of dancing at campus socials, and strolling down Highland Road.

World War II tightened hems again. Rationing and service changed wardrobes with military influences filtered into civilian dress. Men in uniform left for distant shores; returning veterans in the late 1940s reshaping campus life, bringing with them a seriousness that favored clean lines and conservative suits.

34 LSU Alumni Magazine | Fall 2026

By the 1960s, LSU’s oak-lined avenues saw students with long hair, bellbottoms, and tie-dye tops, joining war protests and the civil rights movement.

Campus attire became a refusal of structures and an embrace of personal and political identity. Students stitched messages into their clothing, traded formal jackets for denim, and carried their convictions in the way they dressed.

The 1970s and 1980s were a really fun mix. Disco and preppy collided in students’ closets: paisley shirts and platforms shared space with pastel polos and pleated slacks. The Tigers’ purple and gold found new life beyond the stands: sweaters, scarves, and letterman jackets became emblems of belonging.

Tailgates evolved into spectaculars; whole families coordinated purple and gold outfits to wear beneath the stadium lights.

The 1990s introduced more paradox: grunge’s thrift-store aesthetics and the polished collegiate look coexisted on campus sidewalks. Ripped flannel shirts draped over band tees walked past pressed khakis and boat shoes. Technology was unspooling a new cultural thread, too. With the internet’s rise, students gained wider access to styles and influences, making LSU a crossroads for global trends that were still filtered through the region’s Southern aesthetic.

Logos and lifestyle wear dominated the 2000s and 2010s. Athletic brands, hoodies, and legging shouted comfort and brand affiliation. Game-day jerseys and spirited tees multiplied, worn not just to games but to morning classes and late-night study sessions. The campus itself, once a place of formality, embraced a more relaxed uniform: purple LSU T-shirts, baseball caps, and sneakers.

Today, as the sun sets behind LSU’s Memorial Tower, the contemporary student’s dress is a mosaic of history and priorities. Sustainable fashion has crept into dorm closets; vintage finds and eco-conscious labels share retail space with high-tech performance fabrics. Dress has become about selfexpression and activism as much as comfort.

Across more than a century, LSU’s dress has shifted from regimented to resonant, from societal markers to personal canvases. Yet some things remain constant: the purple and gold threaded through summers and winters, the way students gather to claim a shared identity, and how clothing, whether a military uniform or a soft hoodie, tells the story of who they were, who they are, and who they might become.

LSU Alumni Magazine | Fall 2026 35

A patch designed for the LSU Tigers’ football 2026 uniforms and featuring Woodside Energy’s logo is the result of a first-of-its-kind collaboration deal between LSU and Woodside Energy.

“This partnership with Woodside Energy represents a monumental step forward for LSU Athletics and our student-athletes,” said LSU Athletic Director Verge Ausberry. “LSU continues to set the standard and remains at the forefront of this new era of collegiate athletics, and we are excited to align athletic excellence with community impact through this historic collaboration.”

The LSU Football uniform has been through numerous changes throughout the team’s 133-year existence. In 1932, the Tigers replaced their leather jersey shirts with white shirts, eventually getting rid of leather from their kit by 1947, when their leather helmets were replaced with plastic ones.

In the 1940s, the era of Y.A. Tittle, LSU wore a dark-gold, almost ochre jersey shirt with purple numbers outlined in white. Unlike the modern gold jerseys, this shade was much less vibrant and yellow-tinted, appearing much more muted — like the New Orleans Saints’ “old gold.”

The Tigers experimented with its football uniform in the 1950s. In 1952, thencoach Gaynell Tinsley swapped the traditional numbers for the first letter of each position. For example, the Quarterback wore a “Q” and a Tight End wore a “T.” After going 3-7, the letter system was retired, and numbers were brought back to the uniforms.

The most important change to the uniform happened under legendary LSU Head Football Coach Paul Dietzel. In 1958, he chose to don the gold helmet, white jerseys, and gold pants for all LSU home games. The team won the national championship that year, and Dietzel, a superstitious man, kept the iconic look until he departed as coach in 1961.

Except for adding a tiger design in 1977, the gold, white, gold uniform combination went largely unchanged, until 1982, when an NCAA regulation required home teams to wear colored jerseys. The Tigers wore purple jerseys at home from 1983 to 1994. Fans started becoming weary of the at-home purple jersey when the Tigers experienced a six-year streak of losing seasons from 1989-1994.

But, in 1995, newly appointed LSU Head Football Coach Gerry DiNardo made it his goal as a coach to appeal the jersey decision, which he successfully did in his first year. The exceptionary clause stipulates the visiting team can give permission to the home team to wear white jerseys. However, if a team denied this request, DiNardo made an alternate gold jersey with white helmets and pants to wear at home instead, color-swapping the iconic look.

36 LSU Alumni Magazine | Fall 2026

At the turn of the century, the SEC enacted a league policy: the home team has the sole authority to choose its jersey colors. Under head coach Nick Saban in 2000, the white jerseys would be worn for the season opener, along with all SEC opponents, while the purple jerseys would be saved for non-SEC opponents, a trend that continued under Les Miles.

Most changes to the uniform in the 21st century were smaller patches on the uniform, either based on current events or conference/ university anniversaries.

In 2007, the Tigers wore a patch for the 75th anniversary of the SEC; except in a rivalry bout against Tulane, where LSU wore special jerseys to support Hurricane Katrina recovery efforts. The jerseys were purple with a pelican patch on the shoulders and a gold outline on the white numbers.

CAMPUS

LSU Corps of Cadets celebrates century mark

By James Gregory Director, William A. Brookshire LSU Military Museum

One hundred years ago, the cadets of Louisiana State University moved to their new campus.

A century later, we continue to uphold their values of leadership and defense preparedness. At the core of the institution sat those students who participated in ROTC and as members of the “Corps of Cadets.”

With our newly appointed Commandant of the Corps of Cadets, Col. Joseph Musacchia, USAF (Ret.), the campus is seeing a resurgence in attention to the Corps. At LSU, there had never been an officially recognized student organization known as the “Corps of Cadets.” Instead, LSU’s “corps” has been inaccurately paired with ROTC, wherein they have become synonymous. When the school first opened in 1860, Superintendent William T. Sherman decided that military discipline would be the best format to instill discipline in students, emulating other institutions like the Virginia Military Institute. LSU was not designed to create officers but rather to fulfill the need for a center of higher education in Louisiana using military standards to keep student order.

The tradition thus became known as the “Ole War Skule” and all students were cadets. All students had to uphold military standards and participate in drills. Upon graduation, some graduates sought the military as a career path, but many followed civilian careers with no expectation of military service. This tradition continued until 1916 and continued Learn More! through the subsequent American entry into World War I. In 1916, the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps

ROTC Corps of Cadets in 1926

(ROTC) was created. While military instruction existed at civilian colleges, like LSU, the 1916 National Defense Act officially standardized this training and brought it under a single, federally controlled entity. This transformed the standard of being a “cadet” at LSU. All male students were required to participate in ROTC training for their first two years, then they could either choose to stay in ROTC or leave the “Corps.” This is when the two terms became conflated.

At LSU, the term “Corps” was used to refer to the student body before 1916.

After 1916, the term came to mean those in ROTC training. If you chose to end the training after two years, you left the “Corps.” In 1947, LSU started an Air Force ROTC program, creating two different departments in military instruction.

Therefore, the term “Corps” was used as the command structure to organize events with both ROTC departments and the freshmen/sophomore cadets.

This continued until April 2, 1968, when the LSU Student Government Association voted to end the mandatory ROTC requirement. The Vietnam War changed public opinion regarding the military and ROTC. This decision ended any inkling of a “Corps of Cadets” as all subsequent students would voluntarily join ROTC instruction.

However, as the Cadets of the Ole War Skule alumni organization has shown, the idea of the Corps never dissipated. It is fitting that on our 100th anniversary of cadets of this campus, LSU is devoting its efforts to show Corps of Cadets is still strong and will continue to create leaders.

LSU Health Shreveport to begin work on massive Research Expansion Project

By Chris Russo Blackwood

Rendering of LSU Health Shreveport’s Research Expansion Project

There is groundbreaking news from North Louisiana, but technically, instead of an actual groundbreaking, in October, there will be a destruction and construction of a $125 million LSU Health Shreveport Research Expansion Project (REP). The public-private partnership will transform Shreveport’s Mall St. Vincent into a premier innovation hub, set to open by the end of 2028.

The 181,000 square-foot hub will support LSU Health Shreveport’s rapid growth in funded research, strengthen LSU’s national standing, and advance discovery in key areas, including cardiovascular disease and cancer.

No one is more excited about this project than Dr. Lester Johnson (1971 MD), LSU Health Shreveport’s senior vice chancellor, who has spent most of his life in North Louisiana and more than 30 years with LSU Health.

“We place a huge emphasis on research, both bench and clinical research, and transformational science,” he says. “We’ve attracted 20 new basic scientists in the last year, with many more on the way. We have outgrown our current infrastructure and, with the addition of these 20 new scientists, we are at full lab capacity now.”

Johnson explains that these new scientists arrived with their own research grant funding.

“We have always excelled in clinical care and our safety net mission, and also, of course, in our education of health care professionals – medical school, postgraduate education with fellowships and residencies, and our Allied Health professions school educating 10 types of Allied Health care professionals,” he adds. “Our campus has never been in a better situation.”

Dr. Johnson’s blood turned purple and gold early on, when he tagged along with a friend to an LSU Football game on Halloween night. Yes, it was that Halloween night, the night of Billy Cannon’s historic runback and chants of Go to Hell, Ole Miss. It was quite an evening for the then 13-year-old.

He grew up in Holly Ridge and attended the Baton Rouge campus for his undergraduate studies, followed by medical school at LSU in New Orleans, and a surgery residency at Charity Hospital in New Orleans. Afterward, he returned to North Louisiana, where he entered a general surgery private practice in Monroe and served as a part-time faculty member of the LSU Health Shreveport Department of Surgery, becoming a full-time faculty member and Chief of Surgery at the LSU Hospital in Monroe in 1996.

Dr. Lester W. Johnson, LSU Health Shreveport senior vice chancellor

During his tenure, he has witnessed many changes and trained hundreds of great surgeons. One of the biggest changes was the system’s evolution to the public-private partnership of Ochsner-LSU Health Partnership of North Louisiana.

“In our area, in 2013, the state thought we could do better with public-private partnerships to take care of the safety net mission of the charity hospital,” he explains. “We evolved into a system and developed three hospitals – Shreveport, Monroe, and St. Mary’s in Shreveport as well. It provides much better access to care for all."

Today, that system has 610 medical students, 391 students in allied health professions, and 122 in graduate studies, as well as 609 residents and fellows. One in every 12 jobs in North Louisiana is either directly provided by LSU Health Sciences and Ochsner LSU Health System or supported because of its presence.

Johnson sings the praises of the new LSU administration, particularly President Wade Rousse and Chancellor Jim Dalton.

“I’ve been around for a long time and participated in a number of different ‘LSU No. 1’ attempts,’” he says. “This is the best one. We have the right leadership at the right moment in the right environment.

LSU researchers are going big by thinking small, from experimental polymers that enable molecularscale transistors to using nanobubbles to ship hydrogen.

Chips are made by painting a silicon wafer with light-sensitive polymers called photoresists, then etching circuit patterns through a mask, hardening some materials while allowing others to dissolve. However, components have shrunk so much in recent years that new photoresists are necessary.

42 LSU Alumni Magazine | Fall 2026

Research spans nanoscale chip components to robots in space Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) wavelengths, 13.5-nanometers, are so short that only a few dozen light particles hit the photoresist in each pixel. Without EUV-sensitive photoresists, component edges may be fuzzy and transistors prone to failure.

Chemical Engineering Assistant Professor Anthony Engler’s $1.9 million National Science Foundation grant built a new EUV beamline at Louisiana Light Source.

The beamline lets researchers test experimental polymers for high-resolution patterning, gaining insight into photoresists at the molecular level.

“If we invent something that works well, we can take our preliminary results to a company like Intel or Samsung and ask if they would be willing to test the material on a commercial tool,” Engler said.

Hydrogen is considered by many to be an ideal fuel source, offering power without pollution. However, moving the gas is a problem. Most pipelines can’t handle the high pressures needed, tolerate hydrogen’s destructive effects on components, or stop the small-molecule gas from escaping.

Shipping hydrogen without pressure requires a medium: a frozen hydrate such as ice, with hydrogen molecules embedded inside. Hydrates could make moving hydrogen as easy as shipping frozen food.

The problem is that hydrates don’t naturally contain enough hydrogen to make it a practical delivery vehicle for the gas. Petroleum Engineering Associate Professor Olufemi “Femi” Olorode’s solution? Using virtual reality and computer simulations to figure out how to pack more nanobubbles into the hydrate.

A welcome center at Burden Museum & Gardens years in the making, is now complete.

At a ribbon-cutting ceremony held in May, LSU and LSU AgCenter officials, members of the Burden Foundation, donors, and supporters celebrated the long-awaited facility, which is now officially open to the public. It serves as an information hub to greet visitors to a 440-acre complex that encompasses the LSU AgCenter Botanic Gardens at Burden, the LSU Rural Life Museum, and Windrush Gardens.

Located in Baton Rouge near Interstate 10 and Essen Lane, the property was donated to LSU by the Burden family in 1966. More than 200,000 people visit the grounds annually to explore gardens, nature trails and museum exhibits and to attend events.

Burden plays host to numerous educational programs focused on history and horticulture, as well as beloved seasonal festivities such as the Corn Maze in the fall and the Louisiana Lights holiday display. It is also a popular venue for weddings, receptions, meetings, and other occasions.

The welcome center will be available for events, expanding Burden’s rental offerings.

Leaders liken the welcome center to a “front door” for Burden — something they have long desired for the sprawling property. It has been in the works since 2009, when Burden adopted its master plan.

In addition to providing a central location where people can ask for directions, get information on attractions, and participate in events, the welcome center itself will play a role in Burden’s educational mission. It functions as a demonstration of stormwater management strategies.

The facility is outfitted with a scupper, which captures water from the roof and directs it into a detention basin, which flows into a rain garden and, eventually, nearby Ward Creek. The extensive landscaping surrounding the building prominently features native plants such as dwarf palmetto, juncus, cypress, and magnolia, which help absorb and filter stormwater. Its parking lot is made from semi-permeable materials that reduce runoff.

The space will also soon feature exhibits highlighting the property’s history and the Burden family, along with smaller rotating exhibits about research on site and within LSU and the AgCenter.

LSU School of Theatre renamed to School of Theatre and Film The Louisiana Board of Regents approved renaming the LSU School of Theatre to the LSU School of Theatre and Film.

“At LSU, one of the defining strengths of our Film & Television program is its place alongside the university’s outstanding theater program within the College of Music & Dramatic Arts," said Eric Lau, dean of the college. "This distinctive relationship creates a rich collaborative environment in which students engage across disciplines, expand their artistic and professional horizons, and prepare to lead in an evolving creative landscape. Because this model is uncommon nationally among peer institutions, the name School of Theatre and Film more accurately reflects both the depth of this partnership and its significance within the broader vision of the CMDA."’ This name change also reflects the program’s evolving role within Louisiana's booming film industry.

LSU's film program began as a modest initiative in 2012 with a dozen enrollees.

It has since exploded in popularity among students, with its enrollment of 100 nearly matching the size of the theater program.

A primary driver of this growth was the transition from a Bachelor of Arts degree to a Bachelor of Fine Arts program, which solidified the curriculum as productioncentric and career-focused.

LSU established its theater program within the Department of Speech in 1928. The Department of Theatre was created in 1991, followed by the founding of Swine Palace, the professional theater associated with LSU Theatre, in 1992.

In 1998, the Department of Theatre merged with the LSU School of Music to create the College of Music & Dramatic Arts, and then the film initiative was launched in 2012.

LSU junior sprinter Jaiden Reid broke the collegiate record in the 200-meter sprint at the 2026 NCAA Championships in Eugene, Ore., helping propel the men’s track and field team to fourth place.

After an historic day at Hayward Field, Jaiden Reed was named a semifinalist for the Bowerman Award.

48 LSU Alumni Magazine | Fall 2026

Reid clocked 19.63 in the 200-meter final, surpassing Olympian Walter Dix’s 19.69 record, which stood for 19 years. This time is the new LSU school record and the Caymanian National Record, and it ranks as the 12th-fastest time ever run under wind-legal conditions. As of June 30th, Reid’s time is the fastest recorded in 2026.

The 19-year-old also set records in the 100-meter, finishing second with a time of 9.82 seconds. Although his final time surpassed the legal wind limit, his 9.95 in the qualifying round ranks him third in school history. This time also matches the Caymanian National Record and ranks as the 14th-fastest time in the world in 2026.

In the 4x100 Meter Relay, Reid ran second leg alongside teammates Jeremiah Walker, Shakeem McKay, and Joshua Caleb, and recorded the second-fastest time in school history, ranking tenth all-time in collegiate history with a time of 38.06 seconds.The Tigers finished second in the final, adding to the team championship total.

Each race awards points to the top eight finishers, with 10 points for first, 8 for second, and a gradual decrease to 1 point for 8th place. Reid’s performance accounted for 20 of the Tigers’ 42 points in the Men’s Team Championship, which ultimately ended in a fourth-place finish.

After an historic day at Hayward Field, Jaiden Reid was named a semifinalist for the Bowerman Award, awarded each season to the best male and female collegiate track and field athletes. The Caymanian became one of eight LSU athletes to become a semifinalist, following in the footsteps of Olympians Mondo Duplantis, JuVaughn Harrison, and Vernon Norwood.

Jaiden Reid will look to carry his momentum into qualifying for the World Athletics Ultimate Championship, to be held in Budapest September 11th-13th, before starting his senior campaign for the Tigers.

Taylor Riley Golf Recap

LSU Senior Golfer Taylor Reiley

LSU senior golfer Taylor Riley concluded her career tied for 30th place after a playoff for the last spot in the final round of the NCAA Championship held at OMNI La Costa Resort in Carlsbad, California.

A native of San Diego, Riley followed her mother to LSU. Michelle Riley, formerly Michelle Louviere, hails from Lafayette, La., and played golf for the Tigers in the late 1990s.

The Tigers qualified for the NCAA Championship for the sixth straight season; however, they came up one shot short of making the first cut. Although the team did not qualify, Taylor Riley finished her third round with a birdie, posting a 69 for the day, which tied her for the ninth and final individual spot in the final round of stroke play.

After the third round, Riley and two golfers started a playoff for a chance to play one more round. On the second playoff hole, the par-4 17th, Riley’s shot went left. While the others were on the green with par putts, the senior Tiger was still chipping from off the green.

“So I probably hit three of the worst shots I’ve hit all week,” Riley said on Monday after the playoff concluded. “I just hit it in the junk, chipped out, and then hit another shot just short of the green. I actually had a similar chip in the actual round Sunday, so I was joking with Garrett (Coach Runion), ‘Oh, I just had this chip. I know exactly what to do. No big deal.’

Riley chipped to save par and continue playing. The golfers remained tied after playing the par-five 18th hole, and they returned to the par-3 16th hole for a second time in the waning seconds of daylight.

When all three women made par, the course officials suspended play until the morning. Twelve hours later, Riley returned to the 17th tee box and this time found the fairway.

Taylor made par on the fifth playoff hole to win and secure a spot in the final round that afternoon.

She shot a 74, finishing with a birdie on the last hole of her college career. Riley's total score was 290 over 72 holes, placing her 10th in program history. She finished tied for 30th out of 156 players who participated over the weekend.

Having coached under football legends such as Pete Carroll and Nick Saban, Kiffin will rely on his extensive football knowledge and fast-paced offensive scheme aimed at giving LSU success this season.

The Tigers boast a strong coaching team, including Offensive Coordinator Charlie Weis Jr., who joined the coaches who followed Kiffin to Baton Rouge.

LSU keeps Defensive Coordinator Blake Baker, widely regarded as a top candidate for a head coaching role. Additionally, former head coach and 2019 national champion Ed Orgeron returns as a special assistant to recruiting and defense.

LSU replaces seven players selected in the 2026 NFL Draft, headlined by Mansoor Delane, A.J. Haulcy, and Zavion Thomas. Another 37 players entered the transfer portal in January, leaving Kiffin and his staff with major work to do.

Kiffin recruited 41 players through transfers, making it the top transfer class according to 247sports.com. The Tigers signed Sam Leavitt, the highest-ranked quarterback, who has thrown for 4,652 yards and 36 touchdowns in 24 games.

No. 1 transfer offensive lineman Jordan Seaton, a tackle, allowed just 4 sacks in 1,370 snaps, while No. 1 transfer edge rusher Princewill Umanmeilen, ranked No. 3 in the SEC with 9 sacks in 2025.

Returning key players on both offense and defense include tight end Trey'Dez Green, running backs Harlem Berry and Caden Durham. On defense, captain Whit Weeks returns for another season, alongside Tamarcus Cooley, PJ Woodland, and Davhon Keys.

For the first time in six years, the Tigers will start their season on a Saturday night in Death Valley, facing Clemson in a prime-time game on ABC Sept. 5. College GameDay will make its 15th visit to Baton Rouge, kicking off the Lane Kiffin Era. The Tigers start SEC play on Sept.

19 in Oxford against Lane’s former team, Ole Miss, which could be the most anticipated game of the college football regular season. LSU will also travel to Kentucky on Oct. 10th, Auburn on Oct. 24, and Tennessee on Nov. 21, ending the season at Arkansas on Nov. 28.

At home, the Bayou Bengals host Louisiana Tech on Sept. 12, Texas A&M on Sept. 26, McNeese on Oct. 3, and Mississippi State on Oct. 17. The Tigers conclude their home schedule with a significant two-game stretch against Alabama on Nov. 7 and against Texas on Nov 14.

LPB to air Billy Cannon documentary in September

Jay Dardenne interviews Billy Cannon's classmates from Istrouma High School

54 LSU Alumni Magazine | Fall 2026

It’s Halloween night at Louisiana State Penitentiary. Inmates crowd the TV to watch the replay of the 1959 Magnolia Bowl, where LSU Heisman Trophy Winner Billy Cannon dashed 89 yards to win the football game for the Tigers against Ole Miss, 7-3.

Watching with the inmates was Cannon himself, a dentist at the prison at the time, who was proud of his run, but didn’t have himself in mind. Former Warden of Angola Burl Cain said Cannon’s first thought that night was not about his own accolade, but rather the referee who outran him.

“You could never outstyle [Cannon], he was the hero and everyone knew it,” Cain said. “He even gives the damn referee some credit.”

Cannon was a man of the people, and while he had fame and fortune from his football days, he never let that get to his head. According to Cain, Cannon was the humblest man he knew, always advocating for others and never himself.

The camaraderie and teamwork were instrumental in the development of then Coach Paul Dietzel’s squad. According to Jay Dardenne, while Cannon alone may have won the ‘59 Heisman, he felt winning the award was much more of a team effort.

“When they won the National Championship in ‘58 and Billy won the Heisman in ‘59, all of a sudden LSU and Louisiana were on the national map for sports and football at a time before the internet,” said Dardenne, former Louisiana lieutenant governor and current documentarian.

Dardenne, who previously worked with Louisiana Public Broadcasting for his film about how “Louisiana ain’t Mississippi,” was approached by Cannon’s daughter, Bunnie, about having a documentary written about her late father. Dardenne, who grew up idolizing Billy Cannon, was very eager to join this project, wanting to tell his full story. The documentary, titled "Circles: The Life of Billy Cannon," will air on LPB at 7 pm on Sept. 14.

“You can’t tell Billy’s story without talking about the misdeeds that he did during his lifetime,” Dardenne said. “We’re telling everything about his life, and it really is a tremendous story of redemption.”

Working in collaboration with Dardenne is Executive Producer Linda Midgett from Louisiana Public Broadcasting. When the two started on this project, it was with the support of the Cannon family, telling the true story of Billy Cannon.

While the Cannon family was approached by ESPN and other larger outlets to make a documentary on their channels, the family chose LPB, because they believed that is what Billy would have wanted, because he loved Louisiana.

“If we don’t tell the stories of the rich history of Louisiana, who will?” Midgett said.

“We are a state very rich in stories, and it’s the mission of our channel to have these stories archived for future generations.”

Cannon grew up in Baton Rouge, attending Istrouma High School, where former Olympics weightlifting coach Alvin Roy developed one of the earliest examples of football players using weightlifting as a part of their strength and conditioning training, a common practice now.

Cannon was in his junior year when weights were delivered to Istrouma, and it changed their program for the better. Despite losing to Baton Rouge High School in 1954, before the introduction of weightlifting; they were able to beat them a year later, in Cannon’s senior year.

The game was such a big deal that the two schools couldn’t play at their normal venue, Baton Rouge’s Memorial Stadium, as it held a capacity of 20,000 people and the projected turnout was much more than that. So they played the game at Tiger Stadium, four years before Cannon made his legendary run there..

Istrouma beat BRHS — a goal of Cannon’s going into his senior year. After graduating, Cannon attended LSU, where under Coach Paul Dietzel, he won the 1958 National Championship and the 1959 Heisman Trophy.

On Jan. 1, 1960, LSU lost to Ole Miss in the Sugar Bowl, and Cannon signed his professional football contract with then-new AFL team, the Houston Oilers on the field of the Superdome. However, two months before the Sugar Bowl game, Cannon signed with the Los Angeles Rams, an NFL team. Lawsuits quickly followed, but in the end, the Oilers were able to keep Cannon.

Following the lawsuits, Bunnie Cannon said that her father became the highest paid professional athlete in the world. According to Dardenne, Cannon was instrumental in laying the groundwork for the merger of the AFL and the NFL in 1966.

“The NFL finally capitulated and said we’re going to let the AFL join us because we can’t compete monetarily with what they’re doing,” Dardenne said.

With the Oilers, he won two AFL championships, both against the Chargers, first in Los Angeles in 1960 and, when they were in San Diego in 1961. Besides the Oilers, Cannon played for the Kansas City Chiefs and the Oakland Raiders, where he played in the 1967 AFL championship and lost to his former team — the Oilers.

Also while with the Raiders, Cannon played in the second AFL–NFL World Championship Game, losing to the Green Bay Packers 33-14.

In his final year of professional sports, Cannon was with the Chiefs at the time and played six games until he received a season-ending injury, convincing him to retire. At the end of his career, Cannon set the current record for the most yards from scrimmage in a non-overtime game, and tied with four other players for the most touchdown receptions by a running back (nine) in a season.

After his professional football career ended, Cannon earned a doctoral degree in dentistry from the University of Loyola in Chicago, and founded a practice in Baton Rouge. While having successful practice for a long time, Cannon was charged with counterfeiting $6 million in 1983, and immediately confessed to his crimes when questioned.

Sentenced to five years, Cannon only served two and a half years due to his good behavior.

After getting his dentist license back, he struggled to regain his dentistry practice. Cain received a call from the Louisiana Department of Hospitals, saying Cannon needed a job.

“They asked if I had a job at a dentist office [at Angola]. I had five dentists working for me at that time, so I said ‘yes, by all means, I have a job for Billy

Cannon,’” Cain said. “Well, whether I did or not, I’ll go make one for him.”

While at Angola, Cannon reformed the dentistry division, taking control and making decisions for the group of dentists there. According to Cain, the inmates loved him because he cared about their well being. They nicknamed him “Legend.”

Cain, impressed with his work in reforming the dentistry at the prison, promoted Cannon to Director of Health at the prison.. According to Dardenne, the improvements Cannon made directly led to lifting Angola out of the control of federal court.

Cannon worked for Angola until his death in 2018 and, like clockwork, the prison would re-watch the Halloween night run every year, with Cannon in the background reminiscing and talking with the inmates.

While Cannon never confirmed finding that referee, his daughter said they might have run into him at Fleur De Lis Pizza in Baton Rouge. A man visited their table and started talking to Cannon.

“He said, ‘Dr. Cannon, you and I have a little bit of history together,’” Bunnie Cannon said. Her dad assumed it was a former player or patient of his, but the man said “‘I was a high school referee, and couldn’t get into [The Halloween Game], so I dressed in my referee outfit and walked in the side gate. I sat behind the players the entire game, and when you made that play, I ran out and just ran with you.’”

Alum Brandon Beach serves as U.S. Treasurer

In his role as U.S. Treasurer, Brandon Beach (1983 BACH H&SS) really enjoys meeting and greeting as he traverses the country for the nation’s 250th birthday, touting his department’s commemorative coins.

a program to gift each U.S.-born child $1,000 into an account where continued additional personal payments (of the maximum amount of $5,000 per year) could mean more than $300,000 for that child when he turns 18.

“Investing in kids and education will be one of President Trump’s biggest legacies,” said Beach. “We are passionate about financial literacy.”

He adds that philanthropists, including Michael Dell, Kevin O’Leary, and Nikki Minaj are backing the program. And, that companies like Chick-Fil-A, Home Depot, and Delta are matching contributions made to these children’s accounts by their employees.

Another role of the Office of the U.S. Treasurer is to advise Native American tribes on IRS issues and tax policies. Beach says he quickly discovered the tribes’ polarities, either wealthy from oil or casino money, or very poor. As he traveled among them, Beach realized their commonality was a deep love of family and tradition, somewhat akin to the Louisiana Cajuns, and something Beach experiences through his wife’s Prairieville-based family with Cajun roots.

Married 42 years, the Beaches make their home in Alpharetta, Ga, where Shuntel Paille Beach (1983 BACH H&SS) is CAO of King’s Ridge Christian School.

Their two children and five grandchildren live nearby. Although deeply ingrained there, the Beaches are still partially rooted in Louisiana, and particularly LSU, where they met. Brandon has been an LSU season ticket holder since 1983. A member of Sigma Nu fraternity, Beach cherishes his college days, particularly the lasting friendships he made.

“I got a great education at LSU,” he says. “But, more importantly, I built relationships. LSU taught me people skills and learning to connect the dots.”

He was on campus recently and joined his long-time friend, Lenny Lemoine, to meet with LSU Head Football Coach Lane Kiffin and Ed Orgeron, LSU Football special assistant to recruiting and defense.

“I told them I have never felt this much excitement about LSU football since you’ve been on campus,” Beach says. “I walked through the campus – it’s so beautiful. I love LSU.” His advice to current students is to study hard in a curriculum that generates their passion; build relationships, starting with a strong handshake and eye contact; and set themselves apart by crafting hand-written notes. After graduation, Beach urges young adults to become involved in their communities.

Part of Beach’s legacy as U.S. Treasurer will find its way to the Smithsonian.

Those commemorative coins have already been photographed as a space mission assignment, with the Earth positioned in the background, for their eventual display in the museum.

Recently, at Monticello, President Thomas Jefferson’s home-turnedmuseum in Virginia, Beach unveiled the Jefferson Quarter, one of three commemorative quarters. The other two quarters feature presidents George Washington and James Madison.

These commemorative coins, authorized by Congress, join another that became legal tender on July 4, a dollar coin featuring President Donald J. Trump. It is Beach’s significant role in Trump’s second campaign that garnered him the President’s attention. The seven-time senator from Georgia was with him on the campaign trail in Iowa when Trump told him: “If I’m elected, you’re coming with me to Washington.”

The first Louisianan to become U.S. Treasurer, Beach serves as the nation’s 46th. He explains how Alexander Hamilton created the Treasury to help fund the Revolutionary War, before the United States even became a nation.

In less than two years in office, Beach is proud of his team’s progress.

He mentions the elimination of the penny (which was costing 4.5 cents to produce) and Trumpaccounts.com,

Roussel partners with athletes in ventures

Eron Roussel with Harold Perkins, Jr.

58 LSU Alumni Magazine | Fall 2026

The new era of NIL has opened the doors for exciting opportunities for entrepreneurs and start ups to collaborate directly with college athletes, creating a mutually beneficial relationship between athlete and company.

Alumnus Eron Roussel (2006 BACH H&SS) from New Orleans saw this opportunity and started his own brand of cheese curls called Baller Bites, where not only would the consumer be getting a quality chip product, but, as the site says, every bag goes to support the grind, hustle, and future of student-athletes.

“I came up with the idea of Baller Bites by partnering with athletes directly, kind of how Rap Snacks did with rappers,” Roussel said.

Roussel already has a history of working with LSU post graduation when he was a member of music group “Da Future,” sampling The Golden Band from Tigerland for their song “Tiger Bait,” which was the first ever music licensing deal with LSU. Unfortunately, despite the hype gathered from this song, LSU lost the BCS championship to Alabama 0-21.

But Roussel was able to make lemonade out of the sour game. LSU was impressed with the way he marketed the school, so they offered him a job to shoot video for LSU Sports. Accepting this offer, Roussel said he shot videos for softball, men’s and women’s basketball, and football.

This relationship Roussel built up with the creative department at LSU served as a foot in the door years later when he successfully pitched a collaboration between Baller Bites, Dr. Pepper, and Harold Perkins, Jr. “Our initial deal last season was a tuition scholarship,” Roussel said. “High schoolers were able to hit up the QR code on the back of the bag, and they’d sign up for a chance at winning said scholarship. And that went well.”

LSU loved the idea, and starting in 2026-2027, Baller Bites will be an official partner of LSU Sports, to be sold at every sporting event on campus at every venue. With this collaboration, Roussel said each sport will have their own custom bag design for that sport.

Currently, Baller Bites only has one flavor: LA BBQ Cheese Curls, which will be sold at LSU events starting this fall. However, Roussel is hoping to expand collaboration with professional athletes, with talks in place with NFL sophomore players and LSU Football alumni. Beyond football, Baller Bites is also in talks with the WNBA for a collaborative flavor as well.

Sports have always been an important part of Roussel’s life. A lifelong New Orleans Saints and LSU Tiger fan, he said when he was younger, he would go to bed with SportsCenter playing in the background. Now, Roussel is able to give back to the newest generation of athletes through Baller Bites and collaborative scholarship programs like with Perkins Jr. and Dr. Pepper last season.

“Most scholarships are essay based, you know, you give them a reason why you deserve the scholarship and all,” Roussel said. “With this one, it was strictly just signing up. We wanted it to be something fun and shareable, but very serious as far as what they will receive. Last season we gave out $5,000 to New Orleans and $5,000 to Baton Rouge (athletes), just because that was where Perkins impacted the most players.”

Roussel said he is hoping to do more sweepstakes in general for all college kids, not just athletes, including prizes such as tickets to the SEC Championship, College Football Playoffs and more high value items.

Besides sweepstakes and cheese curls, Roussel wants to ensure athletes have success in all parts of their life, from financial success to mental health. Being from New Orleans, he wants to be a mentor to kids from the area, giving back to the city he grew up in.

“We’re not just a regular NIL deal that cuts a check,” Roussel said. “We also pair our athletes with financial advisors so athletes can know what to do with this newfound money. As you can imagine, being so young, but having the pressure of professional performance and the pressure of social media, it could take a toll on an athlete’s mental capacity, so we make sure they have access to counselors and resources like that.”

Tiger Nation

Tigers in Print Myra Walker (1976 BACH A&D) Dreams and Ideas: The Artistry of Costume Designer Winn Morton North Texas Press Dreams and Ideas: The Artistry of Costume Designer Winn Morton celebrates the legacy of American theatrical designer John Winniford “Winn” Morton (1928–2022), a Texan who made his way to New York to begin a stellar career that lasted from age 18 until he retired at 90. More than 150 photographs and original color illustrations demonstrate how Morton paid careful attention to the look of every single performer, consciously conveying character through clothing.

Morton started in the early years of live television and then moved to the Roxy Theatre, where fanciful showgirl and skater costumes sprang wholly from his imagination.

By 1960, he was appointed head designer for Jones Beach Theater, a key role at a unique, popular destination that he maintained for a remarkable seventeen seasons. Over the same period, he also designed costumes for select Broadway and off-Broadway productions, including Oklahoma!, industrial musicals, and Dick Button’s Ice-Travaganza skating show at the 1964–1965 New York World’s Fair.

His prolific career in New York continued into the late 1970s, until the life-changing event of his mother’s death prompted his return to Dallas County. He was quickly hired as artistic director of sets and costumes for Six Flags Over Texas Productions, dressing hundreds of actors in themed musicals performed in the brand’s multiple amusement parks nationwide. He also styled lavish galas and private parties in Dallas in the 1980s and 1990s and designed all of the costumes for Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus’s 1985– 1986 tour.

At age 54 Morton began the longest-running commission of his career: the Texas Rose Festival in

64 LSU Alumni Magazine | Fall 2026

Tyler. He first designed elaborate, bejeweled gowns, trains, crowns, hats, and children’s attire for the glittering festival beginning in 1982, adding set designs to his duties ten years later. At his final Rose Festival presentation in 2019, the organization paid tribute to his extraordinary contributions. Featuring guest essays by Jennifer Cronk and Holly Haber, Dreams and Ideas is the first full-length account of Winn Morton’s achievements in costume and set design.

Jonathan Earle (Dean, LSU Roger Hatfield Ogden Honor’s College) He Has the People: Abraham Lincoln and the Election of 1860 Oxford University Press James McPherson calls the election of 1860 "undeniably the most important--and pivotal--in all of American history." The nation was not merely divided over the issue of slavery; the opposing camps were at each other's throats. The moment John Brown and his men attacked the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry in the fall of 1859, the compromises that had stitched the country together for decades unraveled. The presidential election was therefore about more than who the next president would be. It was about how soon war would follow his inauguration.

Using the writings and story of Murat Halstead, the nation's first campaign journalist, as well as previously unused documents from Lincoln's campaign manager, Jonathan Earle, captures the full drama of the 1860 election. He shows how Lincoln, a one-time Congressman from Illinois, and a dark horse against the more established Stephen Douglas, the Democratic frontrunner, and William Henry Seward, the presumptive Republican nominee, won the people and votes he needed to win in a protracted yet fiercely contested election cycle.

Earle focuses on the chaotic campaigns themselves, as political

bosses, candidates, and their selfappointed partisans took politicking in directions that at times resembled paramilitary exercises more than campaign events. In the end, Lincoln and his associates ran a brilliant campaign, leveraging Northern anger, growing antislavery sentiment, and divisions within both the Democratic Party and the nation as a whole. His platform was built on his speeches, which projected a vision for how the nation would persevere in the coming crisis. Behind the commanding rhetoric, however, was sophisticated and very modern political machinery.

He Has the People provides an engaging historical narrative and a fresh appraisal of the most consequential presidential election of all.

Richard “Tad” Murdock (2013 BACH AG) Journeys for the World’s Trout: Fishing the Salmonids of the Planet.

Richard “Tad” Murdock fulfilled a lifelong dream of traveling to fish every known species of trout in the world. Once a member of the LSU Fishing Team, Murdock’s interest in fishing was piqued early in his childhood as he fished with his father in the lakes and streams of north Georgia. His first fishing outings focused on bass, but over time, he became entranced with fly fishing and found that “Trout do not live in ugly places.” His love of these beautiful places sent him seeking trout all over the world, but mainly in the Northern Hemisphere. Extended travels included Northern Africa, the Middle East, all over North America, and even into Mongolia and Siberia.

The book discusses each species of trout he fished during this adventure. Each chapter focuses on one of 44 species described by their scientific and common names and includes color illustrations and maps. Some of the places where he traveled would be considered dangerous by most standards, but

Murdock noted that fishing is a survival tool, as well as an entertainment outlet. Almost every culture known to mankind has fished during its existence for sustenance and pleasure.

Murdock’s fishing guide business, Georgia Wild Trout, offers a wide variety of half-day and full-day trips in the waters of greater north Georgia on public and private trophy sites. The book is available at Amazon and at www.georgiawildtrout.com or by calling 469.678.9154.

Matthew Patrick Hughes (2020 BACH HS&E) A Love Letter to the American Fullback A Love Letter to the American Fullback is a tribute to the toughest and most overlooked position in football. The fullback has long stood as the quiet cornerstone of the sport, a figure of grit, sacrifice, and blue-collar resolve. This book explores the fullback’s rise, fall, and ongoing fight for relevance in an era that often forgets the value of simple strength and selfless play.

Across the history of football, the fullback shaped games, seasons, and legends. From the early powerfootball years to the dynasties of the college and professional ranks, the position carried a legacy of toughness that refused to fade, even as spread offenses and modern schemes pushed the role aside. Yet the fullback remains one of the purest symbols of the sport’s original spirit. This book traces that story with honesty, admiration, and a deep respect for the men who paved the way.

Through vivid storytelling, readers follow the evolution of the position, the programs that kept its tradition alive, and the players who embodied its relentless nature. The fullback never chased headlines. The fullback did not seek glamour. The fullback existed to clear the path, take the hit, and do the unseen work that allowed others to shine. That ethos is the heart of this book.

Alongside the football narrative runs a subtle yet steady thread of faith. The fullback’s calling mirrors timeless truths about service, courage, and Christcentered stewardship. Football fans will connect with the on-field action, and readers of faith will appreciate deeper parallels such as self-sacrifice and character shaped by spiritual conviction.

This book speaks to athletes, coaches, and fans who long for the old-school game to return. It speaks to young men searching for guidance in a world that moves fast and forgets easily. It honors the high-school grinder, the college bruiser, the walk-on who refuses to quit, and the professional fullback who keeps the tradition alive despite the shifting landscape of the sport.

Roy O. Martin III receives honorary degree LSU recognized alumnus, longtime supporter, and business leader Roy O. Martin III with an honorary doctorate for his decades of transformative leadership, philanthropy, and service to the LSU System and the state of Louisiana.

Martin was hooded by LSU Executive Vice President & Chancellor James Dalton, LSU College of Engineering Dean Vicki Colvin, LSU Board of Supervisors Chairman Lee Mallett, and LSU Department of Mechanical Engineering Chair Dimitris Nikitopoulos.

For generations, Martin has played a significant role in advancing LSU’s academic, research, and workforce development mission through strategic investments across multiple campuses and programs.

Most recently, Martin supported LSU’s new Construction & Advanced Manufacturing Building through a leadership contribution to the College of Engineering. The investment also served as a successful matching initiative which inspired several first-time academic donors to contribute to LSU. In 2021, Roy and wife Kathy Martin committed $3.5 million to support major priorities at three LSU campuses, including the Martin Family Student Success Center at LSU of Alexandria, the Our Lady of the Lake Health Interdisciplinary Science Building, and the Center for Medical Education at LSU Health Shreveport.

Martin was the CEO of RoyOMartin, a privately held wood products and forestresources company founded in 1923 by his grandfather, Roy O. Martin Sr. Martin joined the family business in 1985 and assumed the role of CEO in 1996. He retired as CEO on Jan. 1, 2026, but continues to serve as chairman of the board and took on the role of chief investment officer.

Throughout his relationship with LSU, Martin has served as both a philanthropic leader and dedicated volunteer. He helped secure private and state support for projects including the Business Education Complex, Patrick F. Taylor Hall, and multiple athletic initiatives. The Our Lady of the Lake Health Interdisciplinary Science Building, to which he and Kathy Martin contributed a $1 million gift, recently celebrated its ribbon-cutting.

He currently serves on the Dean’s Advisory Councils for LSU’s E. J. Ourso College of Business and College of Engineering, and serves on the boards of directors of the LSU Foundation and the Tiger Athletic Foundation, where he recently completed his term as chairman. He is also a former chairman of the Louisiana Board of Regents.

Martin’s support has extended across the LSU System, particularly in central and north Louisiana. At LSU of Alexandria, he helped launch the Central Louisiana Nurses for the Future initiative aimed at expanding nursing enrollment, hiring additional faculty, and increasing the number of registered nurses entering the regional workforce. He and Kathy Martin also made a leadership gift supporting

completion of the Martin Family Student Success Center, including a $2 million commitment approved by the Martin Sustainable Resources Board of Directors, and later contributed $750,000 to the planned Health Education Campus in downtown Alexandria.

Their commitment to healthcare education also includes the Roy O. Martin Lumber Company Endowed Professorship in Nursing.

In Shreveport, the Martins supported LSU Health Shreveport’s Center for Medical Education, including initiatives connected to the Center of Excellence for Viral Threats, with a $500,000 gift to sponsor the virology laboratory.

Additionally, RoyOMartin supports dozens of LSU system scholarships awarded to the children of company team members.

“My father wore a white tuxedo on his wedding day, so the inspiration started with him – and ended somewhere near James Bond,” Mondo Duplantis, Olympic pole vault superstar, told Vogue the day he exchanged wedding vows with model Desire’ Inglander in June in the South of France. Duplantis is the son of Greg (1986 BACH BUS, 1996 JD) and Helena (1990 AG) Duplantis, also former LSU standout athletes.

Photos by Greg Finck for Vogue

Olympic pole vault superstar Mondo Duplantis and model Desiré Inglander married in a threeday event across the French Riviera, including the June 12 exchange of vows at the Chateau de Castellaras in the hills above Cannes. While at LSU, Duplantis set both the indoor and outdoor collegiate pole vault records, won indoor and outdoor SEC Championship titles, and won the NCAA Division I indoor title.

According to a report in Vogue, Duplantis’ and Inglander's home base will be in Monaco.
