BATON ROUGE – Keeping his word, President Tom Galligan recognized the LSU 2020 graduates with in-person ceremonies on Friday, May 14, in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.
“Last spring, we gave you our word that no matter how long we had to wait, we would gather in person to celebrate your awesome achievement and cheer you on as you walk across this stage,” Galligan said. “The wait is over. Your day is here, and after everything we have endured and overcome over the past year, today’s commencement feels even more special to me, and I hope it does for all of you, too.”

LSU made history Thursday by naming University of South Carolina Provost William Bill Tate as the first Black president in the school s history and the first Black to lead a school in the Southeastern Conference.
Black students weren t even allowed to attend LSU until 1953. Quite frankly I didn t think this day would come that an African-American would become president in the SEC, Tate said. Y all made it possible. I m really excited to be part of this community. For me this is all about how we can help students regardless of their background . and give them opportunity to live their dream.
