LSU College of Art & Design 2015-16 Annual Report

Dean Alkis Tsolakis shows Upward Bound students handbuilding skills in ceramics.

A Message from the Dean I write this at a time when Louisiana is once again suffering from a natural disaster of historic proportion, and I am both touched and proud of the way our people have come together to help one another in these devastating times. We need time to grieve and heal—yet life goes on, and another school year is upon us.

The fall 2016 semester will be an unusual one, to say the least, as congress will address yet another budget shortfall. We at LSU recognize our crucial role in the state’s recovery, and we are eager to address these challenges and pave the way for future generations.

Your continued support helps make everything possible, and we thank you.

In the pages you are about to peruse, we share some of the College of Art & Design’s activities and success stories from the past year. The college continues to change and grow as we improve and expand studios, facilities, and equipment. We strive to create new programs that address local, national, and global issues. We show what we can accomplish by working together, across disciplines, to tackle tough problems and improve lives through art and design.

These pages also reflect how every gift matters as we work to meet LSU’s flagship goals of diversity, learning, discovery, and engagement. In 2015-16, our donors established a record number of new awards and scholarships. Your donations helped us bring internationally renowned artists and designers to campus, and we were able to send our faculty all over the world to exhibit their work and present their research.
