MODELS OF EXCELLENCE
LSU, in particular the efforts of the Cox Communications Academic Center for Student-Athletes, is one of eight colleges and universities nationwide that was honored by University Business magazine in its Spring 2016 Models of Excellence recognition program. The Models of Excellence program recognizes innovative approaches to encouraging and nurturing student success on campus. “For studentathletes, pressure bears down from all angles - from classroom expectations to media scrutiny,” says University Business senior editor Tim Goral. “LSU realizes the unique challenges this population faces, and offers a holistic solution that helps this group succeed outside of game day.”
