Joe Carvalhido and Lauren Giffin from the LSU Alumni Association join the show to spotlight how the university is strengthening ties between students and alumni—starting before students even arrive on campus. From high school senior send-offs to mentoring and career connections, LSU is building a lifelong network rooted in support and opportunity. They also discuss the impact of football season on alumni engagement, upcoming homecoming events, and the importance of cultivating a philanthropic mindset early. It’s all about creating a culture where being an LSU Tiger means more than a degree—it’s a community for life.
