LSU has been unanimously invited to join the prestigious Association of Military Colleges and Schools of the United States, or AMCSUS. The invitation was issued because of the university's long-standing military tradition, active ROTC programs, and its current efforts to support the U.S. military through cybersecurity research and education. LSU marked the final day of President William F. Tate IV’s statewide bus tour by announcing the vision for a new $107 million Construction & Advanced Manufacturing Building and a $15 million leadership gift from Art Favre, founder of Performance Contractors and a graduate of the first LSU construction management class in 1972. LSU students and alumni have created a new, AI-powered tool called FarmSmart that allows farmers and gardeners to quickly access actionable intelligence on how to best manage their crops and get rid of weeds.
