Holidays at LSU

‘Tis the Season, Tigers!

We are getting into the holiday spirit with the LSU Tree Lighting on Tuesday, December 3. Events start in the morning in the LSU Student Union, where LSU students will decorate the LSU Student Union Tree. Celebrate the holidays with the LSU community at the LSU Tree Lighting event before students head over to the President's Late-Night Breakfast.
