Game Day Dollars – Senior Associate Athletic Director Mark Ewing spoke to the LSU Faculty and Staff Retirees Club on March 11 about the expenses of football travel. In addition to food, transportation, and lodging, sending the entire Tiger Band costs up to $200,000. The program is self-sustaining, without student fees or LSU support, and donates millions to the main campus. Photo by Mark Claesgens

Albert assumed her duties as vice president for Equity and Diversity at the University of Minnesota System on June 1. LSU Alumni Magazine regrets the error.
