Navigating college life during a global pandemic must certainly be challenging for faculty, staff, and students of universities everywhere. LSU thanks everyone for their diligence and cooperation as they move forward with their new COVID protocols.

Certainly, any progress is a good sign as far as the pandemic is concerned. Hopefully the change in protocol at LSU can be seen as a light of optimism for all of those still looking to put COVID in the rear-view.
