PRESIDENT

Behind the scenes of Scholarship First

President William F. Tate IV, center, poses with his wife, Kim Cash Tate, LSU Executive Deputy Athletic Director Keli Zinn, retired Head Gymnastics Coach D-D Breaux, Head Gymnastics Coach Jay Clark, and Athletic Director Scott Woodward, as they celebrate at the NCAA Gymnastics National Championship in Fort Worth. With the win, LSU became just the eighth program in NCAA history to win the women’s gymnastics championship. The win marked the 52nd in the history of LSU Athletics. It comes on the cusp of both the LSU baseball and women’s basketball teams capturing NCAA titles in 2023.

“Leading the FUEL team and being selected for this transformational grant affirms what we already knew - that LSU is one of the nation's premier research universities, poised to change the lives of people in Louisiana and the world.”

President Tate is photographed with recording artist Travis Scott at his midnight product line launch at the LSU Barnes and Noble Bookstore. The scene took a festive vibe as students mingled with athletes and celebrities. Student photographer Elizabeth Cuccio said covering the event was a unique opportunity. “Students have access to cool experiences like this throughout their time at LSU," Cuccio said. "The energy at the Travis Scott event was unreal, and Travis seemed impressed with the Tiger spirit."

Gov. Jeff Landry and President Tate attend the Future Use of Entergy (FUEL) reception at the Governor’s Mansion to celebrate the grant and the state’s financial commitment to support FUEL. A statewide effort led

by LSU with more than 50 public and private partners won the largest and most competitive grant ever awarded by the U.S. National Science Foundation – up to $160 million over the next 10 years.

During his “On Par with the President” podcast, President Tate chats with students, faculty, and staff from the LSU community who are at the very top of their game about their journeys to success, setting and fulfilling goals, creating a legacy, and more. Here, President Tate is pictured with podcast guest, Steven Seiden, a senior majoring in computer science with a concentration in cybersecurity. (https://www.lsu.edu/president/on-par/)

MESSAGE

Where did the summer go?

For us at the Alumni Association, we shared crawfish and LSU news with chapter members from San Diego to Orlando. We talked about building teams that win: from our championship caliber sports teams to the record dollars in grants supporting university research, to building our association’s own scholarship coffers.

In this issue, we explore some of our LSU winning teams, starting with Andrew Maas, who put together the team that won the largest grant in LSU history, up to $160 million over the next 10 years to support the Future Use of Energy in Louisiana (FUEL) initiative. This grant is the largest ever awarded by the National Science Foundation. Maas’ department, LSU Innovation and Ecosystem Development, is also responsible for LSU securing its highest-ever ranking, 56th place out of the top 100 universities, for the number of utility patents for LSU faculty members.

Then, there’s the LSU AgCenter’s Food Innovation Institute (Foodii), which partners with small businesses to bring their food creation ideas to fruition.

In August, Foodii broke ground on a huge new facility at the campus’ South Gates.

We revisit the LSU National Championship Gymnastics Team and its National Coach of the Year, Jay Clark. That team, along with the rest of the LSU athletes, benefit from the inventive nutrition program of LSU Executive Chef Michael Johnson, who’s featured in this issue as well. Dining will be a large component of all of our Traveling Tigers 2025 trips, which you’ll find detailed in the center of this magazine.

And finally, mark your calendars for our Tiger Nation Challenge, our annual giving week, Oct. 6-13. Your support is vital to our success! Help engage our alums all over the world!

WE BUILD TEAMS THAT WIN

ANDREW MAAS’ TEAM COULD CHANGE LOUISIANA’S FUTURE

BY CHRIS RUSSO BLACKWOOD

ndrew Maas remembers an official at the podium pointing to him in the crowd at the Governor’s Mansion reception celebrating Future Use of Energy in Louisiana (FUEL), the largest grant ever awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), achieved through a statewide effort led by Maas and LSU.

A

“If it doesn’t work, it’s on him,” the official said. LSU competed with more than 700 applicants for the NSF’s most competitive grant – up to $l60 million over the next 10 years.

But, what if it DOES work?

“There’s no reason Louisiana couldn’t be the richest state per capita in the country,” said Maas, associate vice president for research, LSU Innovation and Ecosystem Development, who served as principal investigator for the grant. His department has since created a mini-funding agency to award these grant dollars through a competitive process to workforce initiatives, tech commercialization, and community engagement in six categories, including carbon capture and sequestration.

“What is the opportunity?” posited Maas. “Historically, we’ve had oil and gas. We have the ability to sequestrate more CO2 than any other state in the country. We could generate billions of dollars annually for our state.”

He holds up a map showing Louisiana as a central location for favorable long-term sequestration with CO2 pipeline infrastructures criss-crossing the state by 2050. Recently, Louisiana became just the third state granted Class VI well primacy, meaning the state has the authority to regulate and permit wells within its borders to be used as safe, permanent repositories for carbon capture.

Maas believes Louisiana is a state in transition with a generational opportunity to transform our natural and human resources into new markets and outcomes.

“A large portion of products entering the country comes through Louisiana via the Mississippi River,” he explained. “The river touches 35 states so the GDP (gross domestic product) impact through Louisiana is huge. Louisiana is connected to 66 percent of the country’s refining capacity. Twenty-three percent of oil and gas comes through Louisiana.”

Greg Trahan, director of economic development, LSU Office of Research and Economic Development, worked closely with Maas to secure the grant.

They connected daily for more than a year, using their complementary skills to push the mountain of content and collateral documents forward.

“This grant is a connective tool which enables an environment to connect dots that weren’t previously connected,” Trahan said. “It’s a force multiplier. If you look at the concept, it’s like an economic development agency in a certain region in a certain sector. We can improve small and medium size businesses who service industry.

They can take advantage of what FUEL has to offer.”

During their site visit, NSF representatives said they didn’t realize how important Louisiana is to the nation’s energy infrastructure.

“They didn’t understand how Louisiana played in that space,” said Maas.

Trahan said he had a feeling LSU won after that visit, even though the confirmation call came through much later.

“At the end, one of the NSA staff who visited said ‘We’re leaving inspired,’” Trahan said.

As a structural engineer and as an attorney, Maas has worked for universities, corporations, and start-ups before being lured to LSU in 2014.

“LSU was already a top-tier university, but in the tech commercialization space they didn’t have anyone historically involved in the operation,” he explained. “It was a great opportunity to take something and build it.

That was exciting for me.”

Merging departments was one of his first priorities.

“You have to bring assets together to make it more viable.”

The newly-created department grew from eight to thirty-five employees. With the new grant, they will add seven more.

“We treated it like a start-up. We needed to generate income. We received grants, rental income, and licensing funds.”

FUEL was the fourth big grant. Others include the Small Business Development Center state office; an initial NSF grant creating I-corps to train scientists and students to think like entrepreneurs; and an Economic Development Association grant to bring small businesses to the next level.

Maas was already well-connected to the NSF through AUTM, a network of more than 3,000 technology transfer professionals. In fact, with AUTM, Maas helped draft the bill that would eventually create the NSF grant program and release its funding in 2022. He currently serves as AUTM board chair.

Maas pulled together an LSU Office of Research and Economic Development team to create a proposal, including Trahan, Sam Bentley, and Greg Upton.

Then came 18 months of the non-stop push for this extraordinary opportunity. Maas was working out of town last October, when he checked his email and found one from the NSF recommending the LSU-led proposal for funding.

“I closed my laptop and called my wife,” said Maas. “I couldn’t even speak. I was so choked up. I was grunting.

She kept saying ‘are you all right?’ When I finally told her, her comment was ‘You weren’t this emotional over the birth of our children.’”

SU jumped to No. 56 among universities granted U.S. utility patents in the National Academy of Inventors’ 2023 Top 100 ranking. According to the National Center for Educational Statistics, there are more than 2,500 undergraduate degree-granting institutions in the nation. The National Academy of Inventors ranks the top 100 among them using the number of patents received by their faculties in a single year.

L

The rankings mark the university’s highest ranking, surpassing 2022’s placement as No. 75.

The 35 LSU-patented inventions in 2023 include an environmentally friendly way to clean up oil spills using nanoparticles of lignin, a complex polymer found in plants and wood as well as another invention of biodegradable plastic made from microalgae.

Utility patents cover the creation of new or improved products, methods or machinery.

Securing a patent is a complicated, costly, and timeconsuming process that may take several years.

The Top 100 list is published annually by the National Academy of Inventors. NAI’s Top 100 U.S. Universities Granted U.S. Utility Patents list is created using calendar year data provided by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Top 100 placement includes all named assignees listed on the patent.

“Our goal at LSU’s Office of Innovation & Ecosystem Development is to help LSU inventors, whether that’s protecting their discoveries with patent filings, licensing their intellectual property to businesses, helping them create startups or guiding them through the process of pursuing small business research grants from the federal government,” said Andrew J. Maas, LSU associate vice president of research for innovation and ecosystem development.

Kato and team produce biodegradable plastic for Mardi Gras beads and other products Naohiro Kato was awarded a patent for discovering multiple uses for microalgae extract, including as an antioxidant that is valuable to the nutraceutical industry and biodegradable plastic that can be used to make Mardi Gras beads and other products including marine floats, buoys, and fisheries equipment.

Kato and his LSU students have developed a process to produce biodegradable plastic. They grow microscopic algae, harvest it and process it into a powder that can be used to create multiple products, including biodegradable Mardi Gras beads.

The biodegradable beads are made from microalgae that Kato and his students grow in a large, 18-foot tank on LSU’s campus in Baton Rouge. They grow and harvest the microalgae three times a month from March to October and bring it back to Kato’s lab to process and dry it. The harvest yields about 120 pounds of dried microalgae each year.

more environmentally sustainable bead. The biodegradable Mardi Gras beaded necklaces cost about $5 per strand, which is about 100 times more expensive than an average plastic Mardi Gras beaded necklace.

Kato has identified a viable market for the extraction of various compounds found in microalgae that could help offset the cost of producing biodegradable plastic. The nutraceutical industry, which distributes nature-based products for supplements, cosmetics and food, could benefit from the sourcing of these materials from Kato’s microalgae.

From the microalgae grown at LSU, Kato has been able to extract an antioxidant called fucoxanthin, which has been shown to have natural anti-cancer properties. Fucoxanthin is a valuable product equating to about a $300 million industry.

Kato said he can sell about one pound of the powered form of fucoxanthin for roughly $5,000.

The by-product after extracting fucoxanthin includes other proteins from the microalgae that would be used to make biodegradable plastic that can be shaped into beads and other items.

He is also exploring ways to create marine floats, buoys and other fisheries equipment using his biodegradable plastic in order to reduce the worldwide problem of plastic pollution in the ocean.

One of the biggest challenges to production is offsetting the high cost to produce biodegradable plastic and therefore a

FOOD INNOVATION INCUBATOR BREAKS GROUND ON NEW FACILITY

BY CHRIS RUSSO BLACKWOOD

LSU AgCenter’s Food Innovation Incubator, better known as Foodii, will have a new home at the corner of West Parker Boulevard and Gourrier Avenue, near the university’s south gates. Construction began in August on the facility, to be completed in three phases over a two-year period.

Taking a tour of Foodii’s present operation requires transportation and credentials, since the test kitchen is in the Animal & Food Sciences Building, manufacturing and small bottling line in buildings near Swine Palace Theatre, and the main bottling line in a newer facility, located adjacent to the warehouse, which will undergo extreme renovations to eventually house the entire incubator.

Whether it’s Annie Laurie Thompson mixing a variety of her Basic Honey or Mario Lozanov armed with fresh Louisiana fruit making City Gelato in the next room, it’s amazing to see the commitment of these entrepreneurs and the commitment LSU is making to them.

“The main idea is to provide food processing facilities,” explains Achyut Adhikari, who is serving as Foodii’s interim director. “We take them from concept to commercialization.”

In 2013, Foodii began as the LSU Food Incubator with 10 tenants, producing 3.5 tons of product. In 2022, Foodii boasted 40 tenants, who produced 290 tons of product.

“We provide technical knowledge and resources,” explains Adhikari. “We make sure state and federal regulations are fulfilled from the standpoint of food safety, nutritional data, labeling.”

Adhikari explains that while incubator tenants may now only produce FDA products (no beef or poultry), the new facility will provide that ability to expand in those areas.

Another of Foodii’s goals is wider collaboration with the food industry, using faculty and students to help provide industry solutions, and perhaps even leased space.

Consumer feedback to Foodii products is done through their Tiger Tasters program, which has some 1,000 enthusiastic enrollees. A recent email blast to the Tasters for a king cake study drew 700 signees when only 100 were needed. There are also plans to employ a trained testing panel with technical knowledge to make sure products meet the expectations of consumers.

Adhikari estimates tenants spend six to nine months in the incubator.

“We expect them to graduate and find backers,” he says.

“We work with the Louisiana Small Business Development Center, and we have our own people available to help them move forward with marketing and a business plan.”

The main bottling line can produce 25,000 units/day, at a rental cost of $200/day, making it popular with a number of successful food lines outside the incubator.

From the global household names to kid-preneurs like sisters Bailey and Harper Galloway, whose PoshPop is now sold at all LSU stadiums, Foodii serves a wide variety of businesses.

“In Louisiana, we’re known for our food,” says Adhikari.

“This is a tremendous opportunity to get from concept to realization.”

On a more personal level, assistant director, Ashley Gutierrez, puts it this way: “They’re like our babies. We watch them grow up and celebrate their successes.

hen Michael Johnson is going through the relatively slow days of early summer, he knows Hell Week is right around the corner.

Hundreds of student athletes hit campus prior to each fall semester. When they arrive, Johnson, executive chef at LSU, and the roughly 50 staff members at the Performance Nutrition Center, have been preparing for the month of August – a month Johnson knowingly calls Hell Week.

“Your body gets conditioned to the current – so when we slow down – then you go directly into (football) training camp,” Johnson said. “Training camp is three square meals a day anywhere from 5:30 a.m. to 8 or 9 p.m. When the football team comes in, especially after a practice in the heat, they are tired.

They want to get their food and go home.”

As the semester starts, Hell Week gives way to a more measured schedule.

“From the first day classes start through the first month and a half or two months, we will see 250 kids at breakfast and 350 people because there is a mix of staff,” Johnson said. “Lunch is an open period where it’s not just a training table for athletes. There are staff and the campus side coming in. Dinner is 500 plus.”

Whereas many local restaurants ramp up for busier weekend hours during a fall semester, the Performance Nutrition Center sees the big crowds on Monday through Wednesday.

“After a weekend football game, everybody comes back on Monday,” Johnson said. “Steak night is Wednesday, so Monday night through Wednesday night is the scene here.”

Before Johnson ever fed LSU student-athletes, he fed LSU baseball fans as a chef connected to the College World Series from 2008-10. Thousands of fans streaming through the gates at Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha, Nebraska, needed meals. It served as a training ground experience.

“It’s everything: It’s stress, it’s food, it’s personalities,” Johnson said. “For every human being you feed, that is more experience you have.”

Because the stadium chef at Rosenblatt was so busy managing day-to-day operations, when the call went out for the chef to do media commitments or cooking demonstrations here and there, Johnson was the guy who often answered the call. One of Johnson’s rewards for jumping in to help: He received College World Series tickets.

“I actually got to watch LSU win (in 2009),” Johnson said. “It was the year Chad Jones came in from center field to pitch.”

Johnson enjoyed the Rosenblatt atmosphere and the opportunity to help feed LSU fans. But the festivities and chef attire were not 100 percent LSU themed. “When I went on for media that year, Centerplate was the company that operated the (Omaha) Royals there,” Johnson said. “They had a facility tied to the South Carolina Gamecocks. I am an LSU fan … and they made me put a Gamecocks chef jacket on. They had me on the news with the South Carolina Gamecocks jacket on, and I was something hot about it!”

At that time, Johnson was working minor league baseball, and it was an off week for him. He already had the experience working at the stadium, so he was a natural fit for what they were doing connected to the College World Series.

Johnson’s experience goes far beyond college event venues.

“When I worked at the Olympics in 2010 in Vancouver, one of my responsibilities … I was Executive Chef in charge of the suites,” Johnson said. That was Opening Ceremonies, Closing Ceremonies and every award ceremony that happened within the city limits of

Vancouver. All the hockey, ice skating and other events that happened at BC Place – we were feeding the athletes in the suites and their families.

“We were also feeding dignitaries from around the world. We fed the Bush family and the Prince of Saudi Arabia. We had 4,000 dignitaries in one suite at the Opening Ceremonies.”

Johnson calls upon that foundation of experience when he is handling the summer prep work and the taxing responsibilities tied to every August. Being part of the education experience for student athletes helps form longterm friendships within those hectic schedules navigated by both Johnson and the students. “It’s fun to build relationships with them and watch them learn and succeed,” Johnson said.

“It’s worth the push.”

Johnson has worked collegiate sports events, minor league baseball, the Olympics and as an executive chef at Century Link Field for the Seattle Seahawks and Seattle Sounders soccer club. He cherishes the mementos from Rosenblatt Stadium. Any favorite sports moments are tied to people instead of specific games or matches.

“I have favorite moments with sports,” Johnson said. “I interact with all athletes at LSU and one of the things I do is I help recruit. Talking about the Nutrition Center and having engagement with the parents – as a parent, my children are coming into collegiate age. I can associate with the stress the (recruits’) parents are going through sending a child off to college and wondering whether they are going to be fed well.”

After Johnson meets a potential new LSU student family, it might be six months or a year or two before that student shows up on campus. There is no instant gratification from the recruiting piece. Instead, Johnson periodically receives calls or texts from coaches and staff members.

“A couple of seasons ago, I got a text message from Josh Jordan, who is a recruiting coordinator for baseball,” Johnson said. “While they were at the World Series, I get a text message saying. ‘Hey Chef, really big thanks for what you did – we signed a recruit and he was talking about you and the food.’” Those are the moments you live for!”

SCOTT BELLINA SMOKES “FIERY FOODS” WORLD

the Best Hot Sauce Tasting (for Flambeau Fiya) and Best Advertising/Marketing (for the Bayou Gotham brand) at the 2024 Scovie Awards competition, held in Albuquerque. This marked the first time in the 28-year history of the annual National Fiery Foods & BBQ Show event that one

BY CHRIS RUSSO BLACKWOOD entrant took home two grand prizes in the same year, beating more than 1,100 entries. Bayou Gotham also won five more awards in categories at the show, including three first places, one second, and one third place.

“Is this real life?” was Bellina’s reaction to the coup. “The email went to my spam folder for some reason and I randomly checked the folder that day, so it was a bit kismet and I was just confused and ecstatic at the same time.”

Things cleared up when the association’s president called to confirm an hour later.

Scott Bellina with Bayou Gotham products Bellina went beyond the tried and true trio of hot sauce ingredients: salt, cayenne, and vinegar to incorporate other Louisiana influences including European, Caribbean, African, even Asian.

Thus, the Bayou Gotham line has four products. In addition to Bayou Bourre, there’s Flambeau Fiya (sweet Caribbean heat), Juju Guru (tropic jalapeno), and Ruby Rebelle (boubon cayenne).

Also, beyond the obvious pairings like on boiled seafood, oysters and Bloody Marys, Bayou Gotham sauces complement lots of other fare, including hamburgers, pizza, and Bellina’s favorite, meatball poboys from New Orleans’ Parkway Tavern.

When it came to branding, Belllina turned to one of his LSU design mates, Scott Hodgin of Tilt.

“We did Legacy magazine together at LSU,” said Scott. “His first reaction was ‘you’re going to be a terrible client.’

“I wanted to be the client for a change. It was a very collaborative project and also enjoyable for both of us as we hadn’t worked together on a project in 30 years.”

He credits two LSU mentors; Lynne Baggett for pushing him while in school and Jenni Peters for opening his eyes to merging his artistic talent and storytelling abilities.

Bellina’s focus is on expanding the distribution of his product line amid a growing arena.

“Craft sauces are like the craft beer industry, which has been exploding for a decade and even the big boys are trying to keep up” he said.

“Tabasco has a scorpion pepper hot sauce with pineapple in it – just sayin!”

WINS TWO GRAND PRIZES WITH BAYOU GOTHAM

S

cott Bellina likes to say he was born on the bayou but aged in Gotham.

The New Orleans native and LSU School of Design alum moved to New York after graduation, but missed Louisiana’s culture. When the city’s laws against propane use ended his crawfish boils, Bellina summoned his hot sauce and food pedigree and went to work in the kitchen, “de-constructing” a crawfish boil to develop a fiery sauce with the flavors of potatoes, corn, the heat, everything except the crawfish. It all came pretty naturally. You see, his maternal grandfather, Roger Baumer, worked alongside his great uncle, Alvin Baumer, founder of the world-renowned brand, Crystal Hot Sauce. His paternal grandparents owned Bellina’s Grocery in Donaldsonville. Thus, he named his hot sauce product line Bayou Gotham to reflect his physics-defying state of being in both places at the same time.

It took six months to develop the first of four products in the Bayou Gotham line, Bayou Bourre. And, after all that work, Bellina was ready to share it with the world. Getting the message out is another of his talents. For 20 years, he’s made his living as a creative director, graphic designer, and quite the storyteller. Co-incidentally, many of his clients are in the food and beverage industry.

Even so, Bellina shocked the fiery foods world (and himself) when he became the first entity to win both Bayou Bourre, everything but the crawfish

LSU Cybersecurity Team awarded $600,000 grant LSU Cybersecurity Researcher and Associate Professor Elias Bou-Harb, along with collaborators at the University of South Carolina, secured a $600,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to combat malware by recognizing and stopping cyberattacks at the network level as they first enter computer systems. The researchers’ approach empowers system administrators through a doit-yourself approach.

Bou-Harb joined LSU last year, having previously directed the Cyber Center for Security and Analytics at the University of Texas at San Antonio. He and his team are creating an open-source platform that enables users to program their own devices (P4 Programmable Data Processors) and smart network interface cards (SmartNICs), leveraging new machine learning methods to recognize malicious behaviors.

LSU doctoral student Kurt Friday is working on the project with Bou-Harb as his advisor. Friday followed Bou-Harb from Florida Atlantic University to the University of Texas at San Antonio and now to LSU.

NASA Space Mission Named for late LSU Professor Arlo Landolt The Landolt NASA Space Mission, named for the late LSU Professor Arlo Landolt, will put an artificial “star” in orbit The late Arlo Landolt around the Earth. This artificial star will allow scientists to calibrate telescopes and more accurately measure the brightness of stars ranging from those nearby to the distant explosions of supernova in far-off galaxies. By establishing absolute flux calibration, the mission will begin to address several open challenges in astrophysics including the speed and acceleration of the universe expansion.

Landolt put together widely-used catalogs of stellar brightness from the 1970s through the 1990s. This mission, housed at George Mason University, will launch a light into the sky in 2029 with a known emission rate of photons, and the team will observe it next to real

stars to make new stellar brightness catalogs. The satellite (artificial star) will have eight lasers shining at ground optical telescopes in order to calibrate them for observations. The effort will not make the artificial stars so brightly to see with the naked eye, but one can see it with a personal telescope at home.

"Utilizing state-of-the-art technology, the mission builds upon Landolt's pioneering work in photometry and standard stars, which will in turn ensure precise calibration for millions of stars and support critical astronomical research for decades to come," said Tabetha Boyajian, associate professor for the LSU Department of Physics & Astronomy and member of the Landolt NASA Space Mission research team.

Renowned throughout the astronomical community for his discoveries, astronomers and physicists worldwide continue to use Landolt’s series of papers which established the “Landolt Photometric Standard Star Catalog”, and his standard stars are among the most heavily used photometric standards throughout the world.

The Business of Cybersecurity

E.J. Ourso College of Business students Help small businesses manage cyber risks If you are surprised to learn that E.J. Ourso College of Business students were part of the team helping small businesses through the LSU Cybersecurity Clinic, you are not alone.

Beau Taranto, Sophia Gebl, Katherine Bearden, Alissa Lankford, and Matthew Barrack

Many see cybersecurity as strictly a technological problem, but the E.J. Ourso College faculty and students are challenging that assertion and with good reason.

According to 2022 IBM statistics, the average data breach in this country costs $9.44 million; the same report estimates that a ransomware attack costs $4.54 million, while destructive attacks cost an average of $5.12 million. These figures prove that cybersecurity is indeed a business concern.

"Business students are essential in bridging the gap between technical findings and business implications in the LSU Cybersecurity Clinic and the professional world," said Alissa Lankford (2023 BS MGMT, 2024 MBA). "We conducted cyber risk assessments to translate technical vulnerabilities into business risks and strategies. This dual perspective ensured that our solutions are technically robust and aligned with business goals."

How did Lankford and a team of classmates end up helping small businesses through the LSU Cybersecurity Clinic?

LSU CENTER FOR INTERNAL AUDITING & CYBERSECURITY RISK MANAGEMENT

The LSU Center for Internal Auditing emphasized cybersecurity by enhancing its curriculum to help students identify cyber risk concerns. As a result, the program changed its name to the LSU Center for Internal Auditing & Cybersecurity Risk Management (LSUCIA&CRM) last year.

LSUCIA&CRM has been invited to use its expertise to support the LSU Cybersecurity Clinic, a collaborative effort between the university and the Louisiana Small Business Development Center. In addition to providing free consulting services and seminars to small businesses, the clinic offers business and engineering students opportunities to enhance their cybersecurity education, gain experience, and earn professional certifications.

"As part of the risk assessment team, we worked on various projects to assist small businesses across Louisiana," said Katherine Bearden (2023 BS MGMT, 2024 MBA)." Our primary focus was protecting these organizations from data breaches, intellectual property theft, financial losses, and safeguarding their reputations."

The experience was eye-opening for the team, who quickly realized that many small businesses did not prioritize cybersecurity and often lacked basic policies to protect sensitive information from attacks like phishing or ransomware.

Through free consultations and seminars, the team emphasized the need for security measures, including software updates, strong passwords, multi-factor authentication, security awareness training, and data backups.

Several team members report that participation in the clinic led to job offers.

Another benefit? The satisfaction of knowing their work contributed to small business success.

"It's a rewarding feeling, knowing that my expertise made a difference in enhancing their security posture and safeguarding their assets," said Beau Taranto (2023 BS MGMT, 2024 MBA).

LSUCIA&CRM's curriculum updates and involvement with the cybersecurity clinic are just part of the strategy. By introducing a cyber risk concentration and an online graduate certificate, the Ourso College will meet emergent needs by producing cybersecurity leaders essential to protecting financial assets and vital resources.

CYBER RISK CONCENTRATION

Undergraduate students can learn to protect organizations' digital assets through a concentration in cyber risk, part of the newly renamed BS Information Systems & Analytics, formerly BS Information Systems & Decision Sciences. Housed in the Ourso College’s Stephenson Department of Entrepreneurship and Information Systems, the concentration provides in-demand skills like security management, risk assessment, encryption, and application security.

While the degree name and concentration are new, the curriculum has already proven to be a winner. Daniel Lichowid Jr. (2024 BS ISDS) developed the skills and business acumen needed to earn third place in the 2024 Deloitte Risk & Financial Advisory Cyber Threat Competition through these courses.

The national competition, which drew 1,500 applicants from a variety of majors, saw Lichowid emerge in the top 5% of all participants. He attributed his success to courses that addressed cybersecurity holistically by instilling technical skills and the knowledge to apply them to business settings.

GRADUATE CERTIFICATE IN CYBERSECURITY RISK MANAGEMENT

Offered through the Ourso College and supported by LSU Online, the Graduate Certificate in Cybersecurity Risk Management covers information security, cybersecurity frameworks, risk assessments, and IT auditing topics. The certificate

opens the door to lucrative career paths, including information security managers or engineers, cybersecurity analysts, and internal auditors.

Through this robust slate of programs, the Ourso College prepares students to be integral in providing cybersecurity solutions.

"Cybercrimes and vulnerabilities impact organizations of all sizes," said Jared Llorens, dean of the Ourso College. "We have an obligation to be part of the solution. The college is excited to bring a unique perspective and skillset to support the university's defense priority and join the team protecting our economy and infrastructure."

Decades of Dedication: Gymnastics’ Journey to a Historic Title

Coach Jay Clark embraces D-D Breaux after winning the 2024 Gymnastics Championship

“The program The LSU Gymnastics team completed their climb to the is in the most sport’s summit. The Tigers secure and claimed the 2024 National positive position Championship and became just the eighth school to win a it has been gymnastics championship.

The milestone victory was in since its recognition after decades of inception.” work to build the squad into a - D-D Breaux national powerhouse.

In its founding days, LSU gymnastics was under the direction of Jackie Walker, the Tigers’ first coach. She was at the helm from 1974–1977. Walker’s squads competed well in the regular season but didn’t bring home any major team accolades.

64 LSU Alumni Magazine | Fall 2024

But one star standout, Jeanie Beadle, won the 1977 AIAW Balance Beam National Title – the first individual title for any female student athlete in LSU history.

After Walker’s departure in 1977, the Tigers were looking for a new head coach. They found one in future LSU legend D-D Breaux. Breaux grew the program throughout the ‘80s and ‘90s but never found consistent success.

After the turn of the century, momentum began to change.

LSU claimed its first Individual Championship in 25 years when Nicki Arnstad won the floor title at the 2002 National Championships.

Four years later, April Burkholder won the 2006 national beam title. The

individual successes attracted higher caliber gymnasts to compete for the Tigers, and in 2008 they reached the NCAA Super Six for the first time.

Over the next 11 seasons, LSU would make six more appearances to the Super Six and one in the Four on the Floor, the new finals format that started in 2019, while its gymnasts took home 12 individual national titles.

Despite their success, the Tigers couldn’t get to the top and win a team title. In that span, LSU finished runners up to Oklahoma in 2014, 2016, 2017, and 2019.

In 2020, the squad was looking to continue its progress starting with the 14-2 record, before the COVID-19 pandemic brought the season – and the world – to a grinding halt. Later that year, another seismic shift occurred when Breaux announced that she would retire after 43 years of leading LSU gymnastics.

“The program is in the most secure and positive position it has been in since its inception,” Breaux said in her farewell letter. “Transition is difficult, but it is made much easier when you are confident that it is being left much better than it was found. I am confident that as great as it is now, it is destined for greater heights.”

With her departure, co-head coach Jay Clark was elevated to the sole head coach. In his third year, Clark would steer the Tigers back to the NCAA Championships. Despite a fourth-place finish, LSU had once again found its momentum.

The next season, Clark and his squad lost only three meets heading into the postseason. After a flawless run, they returned to the Four on the Floor only to find a familiar foe was not there.

LSU’s White Whale, top-seeded Oklahoma, was upset in the semifinals

making the No. 2 Tigers the favorite.

The final meet was a nail-biting affair that came down to the last routine.

As junior Aleah Finnegan began her anchor routine on the beam, her teammates and coach watched from the sidelines as Breaux looked on alongside the Tiger faithful in the stands.

Finnegan executed a near flawless performance and all those eagerly eyeing the events began to celebrate.

They knew this historic moment had finally been actualized. Moments later, the final tallies came in and LSU was crowned.

As the Tigers began to celebrate and take photographs, Clark waited for Breaux to come down from the stands, and the coaches embraced one another.

“She was a big part of this program,” he said “The [practice] facility we have, and the 43 years that she put in there, and the battles that she fought, whether it was Title IX or anything else, I just felt it was important that when this program won its first national title, that it be hers as well.”

This victory is not just a culmination of a season or even a decade. LSU’s gymnastics championship is a testament to the dedication, grit, and work of generations past and present.

When Finnegan landed her dismount, she didn't just touch the mat, but she landed on the shoulders of those who laid the foundation for this historic achievement. It is a crowning moment for a program that has persevered through challenges and finally triumphed on the national stage.

Beach Volleyball Makes History In Return to the Final Four

Junior Parker Bracken hits the ball during her matchup against Stanford in the NCAA Quarterfinals. Bracken and teammate Reilly Allred clinched the final point to defeat the Cardinals LSU celebrates their 3-2 victory over Stanford to return to the NCAA semifinals for the first time since 2021

LSU Beach Volleyball made history with a thrilling run to the NCAA Final Four in Gulf Shores, Al.

“I couldn't be prouder of how this team played and how they represented our program.”

The No. 11-seeded Tigers started by upsetting No. 6 TCU in the first round with a 3-2 victory to avenge an earlier loss in the regular season. They advanced to face No. 3 Stanford in the NCAA quarterfinals.

LSU found themselves behind the Cardinals early after dropping matchups on Courts 1 and 4, but the Tigers would begin to turn the tide.

Aubrey O’Gorman and Ella Larkin kept the purple and gold alive with a hardfought win on Court 3. Emily Meyer and Yali Ashush clinched a crucial second point on Court 5 to set the stage for a dramatic finish.

Reilly Allred and Parker Bracken claimed a three-set victory on Court 2 to send LSU into the Final Four for the first time since 2021.

“The Stanford win was amazing,” said head coach Russell Brock. “Every court played their hearts out, and that’s all we can really ask. There are wins that are noteworthy in the history of our program, and this would be one of those.”

After the win, LSU had a quick turnaround before facing No. 2 UCLA in the Final Four for a spot in the National Championship. The Bruins and Tigers were familiar with each other after playing twice in the regular season with UCLA taking both matchups.

While Bracken and Allred continued their stellar form with a win on Court 2, the Bruins once again proved too formidable across the other courts, ultimately securing a 3-1 victory over the Tigers.

As they head into the offseason, Brock is proud of his squad knowing they left everything on the court.

“The easy thing to do would have been to believe those people, show up, give a bit of a fight and lose to the teams that people want to be better than us,” Brock said. “We didn’t fall into that trap … I could not be prouder of how this team played and how they represented our program.”

Women’s Track and Field

The LSU Women’s Track and Field team poses with the 2024 SEC Championship Trophy. The title is the 26th women’s title for the program

LSU Women’s Track & Field capped off an impressive 2024 season claiming their first SEC Title since 2012 – 26th overall for the women’s team – with a commanding performance that amassed 126 points at the SEC Outdoor Championships.

The Tigers showcased their depth and skill across various disciplines with 14 athletes contributing including standout sophomore Brianna Lyston, whose performances earned a teamhigh 16.5 points across multiple events.

The final day of competition began with the women's 4x100-meter relay squad setting a strong tone, clinching bronze with a season-best time of 42.49 seconds.

Senior Lorena Rangel Batres delivered a stellar performance securing silver in the 1500-meter and adding crucial points in the 800-meter event. Shani’a Bellamy led a remarkable 2-3-4 finish in the 100-meter hurdles and contributed significantly in the 400-meter hurdles.

LSU was dominant in the sprint events, but the 100-meter is where Lyston and the Tigers shined brightest.

She secured gold in the event with a

personal best of 10.91 seconds, while teammates Thelma Davies and Tima Godbless also posted personal best to placed third and fifth respectively.

At the NCAA Outdoor Championships, the Tigers continued to impress but fell short of another title after finishing sixth with 31 points.

Lyston’s stellar season continued as she secured silver in the 100-meters and contributed to LSU’s silver medal performance in the 4x100-meter relay.

Michaela Rose capped off her remarkable season in the 800-meter with a fourth-place finish at the NCAA finals, earning First Team All-American honors and adding five points to the Tigers tally.

Ella Onojuvwevwo also made her mark, setting an LSU record in the 400-meters with a time of 50.72 seconds and earning First Team All-American honors with a sixthplace finish.

While the NCAA performance wasn’t what the Tigers hoped, the squad finished the year with the program’s 53rd SEC title and reaffirmed their status as one of the best teams in the country.

100 Years Strong: LSU Celebrates Death Valley’s Centennial

Tiger Stadium under construction in 1924. Its original capacity was just 12,000

After 100 years, Tiger Stadium has evolved into one of the most formidable venues in college football. Its current capacity sits at 102,321

It’s Halloween night. 1959. LSU trails 3-0 to Ole Miss after an early field goal. Late in the fourth quarter, the Tigers defense forces another Rebel punt.

Running back Billy Cannon returns his legendary touchdown against Ole Miss

Running back Eddie Fuller hauls in a pass to stun No. 4 Auburn 7-6. LSU Fans' explosive response to the catch created seismic activity across campus.

68 LSU Alumni Magazine | Fall 2024

Running back Billy Cannon is back to receive. He fields the ball at his own 11yard line rushing down the sideline picking up blocks along the way as he races past his opposition for a touchdown. The Tigers hold on, and Cannon goes on to become LSU’s first Heisman Trophy Winner.

His run is one of the many heart-stopping, historic moments that Tiger Stadium has witnessed since the gates first opened 100 years ago.

Death Valley’s first game was November 27th, 1924 with a capacity of just 12,000 for the team’s season finale against Tulane. Ultimately, the Tigers fell to the Green Wave, but traditions soon began to form.

Seven years later, LSU added 10,000 seats and lights to the stadium. They debuted their new fixtures in the first ever night game against Spring Hill. The late kickoffs were an overwhelming success and allowed fans from across the state to attend. They began drawing huge crowds to the expanded venue, some larger than Tulane who, at the time, was a more successful program.

Through the years, expansions continued, and by 1978 Tiger Stadium had ballooned to 78,000 seats and, by 2,000, its volume surpassed 92,000. The latest expansion in 2014 once again upped the capacity to 102,321 becoming the fifth largest stadium in the country.

Legendary Alabama Coach Paul “Bear” Bryant described what it was like to play in Death Valley.

“Baton Rouge happens to be the worst place in the world for a visiting team,” Bryant said. “It’s like being inside a drum.”

No moment sums up the impact than October 8, 1988. LSU trailed 6-0 with less than two minutes remaining in the game. On a 4th-and-10 play, quarterback Tommy Hodson found running back Eddie Fuller for a touchdown to upset No. 4 Auburn.

The crowd’s eruption was so great it was registered by the LSU Department of Geology’s seismograph machine. The contest was later dubbed the “Earthquake Game.”

Throughout its evolution from humble beginnings to its current stature as one of the largest and most formidable stadiums in the nation, Death Valley has not only grown in size but in lore. From electrifying touchdowns to seismic victories, Tiger Stadium remains not just a venue, but a catalyst for a century of unforgettable moments.

Tigers in Print Jennifer Moorhead (1992 BACH H&SS) Broken Bayou Thomas & Mercer In this compelling murder mystery, Dr. Willa Watters, a celebrated child psychologist facing the looming threat of a career-shattering scandal, seeks refuge in the embrace of her childhood sanctuary, Broken Bayou. However, her quest for solace plunges her into an intricate and perilous web of long-concealed secrets. Broken Bayou transports readers to Louisiana's darkest corners, as Watters confronts her past to evade a deadly threat.

Dr. Willa Watters is a prominent child psychologist at the height of her career. But when a viral video of a disastrous television interview puts her reputation on the line, Willa retreats to Broken Bayou, the town where she spent most of her childhood summers. There she visits her aunt’s old house and discovers some of her troubled mother’s belongings still languishing in the attic—dusty mementos harboring secrets of her harrowing past. Willa’s hopes for a respite are quickly crushed, not only by what she finds in that attic but also by what’s been found in the bayou.

With waters dropping due to drought, mysterious barrels containing human remains have surfaced, alongside something else from Willa’s past, something she never thought she’d see again. Divers, police, and media flood the area, including a news reporter gunning for Willa and Travis Arceneaux—a local deputy and old flame. Willa’s fate seems eerily tied to the murders. And with no one to trust, she must use her wits to stay above water and make it out alive.

Elaine Parker Adams (1966 MAST HS&E) Respirator Blues Luminare Press Respirator Blues is a collection of 90 lowku poems (senryu) by poet and octogenarian Elaine Parker Adams.

Similar to the well-known haiku in structure, lowku focuses on social issues rather than nature.

Adams explores the good, the bad, and the ugly of COVID-19, its effects, and the realities and myths associated with the virus. Her poems register a variety of responses to living in a COVID-impacted world—in the neighborhood, at work, in schools, and even the fraught environs of hospitals, nursing homes, and endof-life formalities.

Respirator Blues gives its topic due respect while weaving in welcome touches of levity, humor and sarcasm. These poems provide

the opportunity to read briefly but think deeply, arouse memories, and encourage reflection on the challenging experiences impacting pandemic survivor.

Adams’ previous collections are Hurricane Harvey Lowku and Haiku Boullabaisse. She is also the author of The Reverend Peter W. Clark, a Louisiana Notable book.

Val takes this threat personally, as her closest friend since childhood, Beth, discloses that she’s pregnant and is considering an abortion.

Can Val support her friend and keep her safe from the armed madman? Or will Beth’s stubborn recklessness thrust her into harm’s way?

Not your typical police procedural, this fast-paced mystery pits a young, tough, intuitive policewoman, Val Dawes, against a shadowy alliance of extremists whose chief weapons are violence and terror— and whose principal targets are pregnant women.

This is the fifth book in Valorie Dawes Thrillers series.

LSU Museum of Art reflects upon 20 years while looking forward to new initiatives

By Chris Russo Blackwood

Mark Tullos

78 LSU Alumni Magazine | Fall 2024

As the LSU Museum of Art nears the 20th anniversary at its location in the Shaw Center for the Arts in downtown Baton Rouge, Director Mark Tullos (1984 BACH A&D) reflects on just what a leap of faith LSU took in 2005.

“Moving the museum downtown was a big experiment for the university,” says Tullos. “The Shaw Center became the catalyst for the rebuilding of downtown. It shows how much LSU invests in the community.”

With a renewed accreditation under its belt, the museum is poised for the future with new initiatives and exhibitions. Tullos is particularly excited about the museum’s new cloud-based collections system, which allows for powerful searches and reporting as well as exhibition and file management. The system will be a powerful tool enabling faculty, students, and other scholars to access the collection for research and teaching.

Additionally, a new seminar room becomes a special gallery space and smart classroom that can be reserved for closer study of art from the permanent collection not on view in the galleries. The museum has extensive holdings of prints, drawings, and photographs, ideal media for teaching. With the help of staff, a professor may select up to 20 objects from the permanent collection that relate to a class topic. Staff will assist throughout the visit to provide resources and support class discussions and assignments.

Thanks to a generous gift from Winifred and Kevin Reilly, a huge upgrade to the collection’s storage is underway. This project optimizes storage space, improves

accessibility, and ensures the long-term preservation of the collection. This effort marks the first upgrade since the museum’s opening in 2005.

Recently, LSU Museum of Art was awarded a $240,000 Access for All grant from the Bentonville, Ark.-based Art Bridges Foundation, the national arts nonprofit founded by philanthropist Alice Walton. The foundation provided a total of $40 million in funding to 64 museums nationwide. The initiative aims to increase access to museums and foster engagement with local communities by covering the costs of free admission days and expanded free hours as well as programming, outreach, and community partnerships.

Tullos came to LSU in 2023, with a resume boasting stints at seven museums, five of them with construction projects, including the $50 million Mississippi Arts and Entertainment Experience in Meridian. He explains LSU Museum of Art is categorized as a small academic art museum.

“Going forward, we must be more purposeful in our efforts,” he says. “We need to use the collection as a tool for our students. And there are a lot of alumni collectors who might be looking for a place to leave their treasures.”

American Impressionism exhibition Opens at LSU Museum of Art Museum members are invited to a special preview celebration Sept. 12, marking the opening of the LSU Museum of Art’s latest exhibition, “In a New Light: American Impressionism 1870-1940, Works from the Bank of America Collection.”

This exhibit is a sweeping survey of American Impressionism embracing precursor, contemporary, and subsequent movements. It explores the reinterpretation of American landscape painting through works by a diverse group of more than 75 artists and 100 works. Not only does the exhibition trace the development of Impressionism in this country, but also the emergence of a uniquely American style. Featured artists include Childe Hassam, George Inness, Thomas Moran, John Sloan, Ernest Lawson, Daniel Garber, and Guy Carleton Wiggins.

The exhibition runs through November 19. For information on becoming a museum member, call 225-578-3057 or go online: www.lsumoa.org/membership.
