Ways to get Involved
Black Student Athlete Summit
The goal of the Summit is to empower Black Student-Athletes to maximize their college experience by killin’ it in the classroom and to not leave “any meat on the bone” in terms of opportunities. Professional staff who attend the Summit are empowered to go back to their campuses and create innovative initiatives to ensure that Black Student-Athletes are competitive in the global workforce upon graduation.
Diversity & Inclusion Councils
Leadership, Coach/Staff and Student-Athlete councils are dedicated to ensuring we, as an athletics program, make progress in our efforts to create a diverse and inclusive environment for everyone.
Black Student Athlete Assciation
A safe space and advocacy channel for Black-identifying student-athletes at LSU. We organize to support the full identities and voices of Black student-athletes, to positively impact our community, promote inclusivity in athletics, collaborate with like-minded campus organizations, and help educate and spread awareness on topics related to social and racial injustice.
