The LSU 100 recognizes the 100 fastest growing LSU graduate-owned or LSU graduate-led businesses in the world, while the LSU 10 recognizes the ten highest revenue-generating businesses from those who apply for the LSU 100.

2. Students protested LSU's response to the accused sexual predator from France. They spoke up about the lack of safety on campus, and they pointed out that LSU knew of Edouard d'Espalunge D'Arros' arrest in 2018, yet still allowed him on campus where he was preying on young women and charged with third-degree rape. Faculty members also took the time to speak up in solidarity with the young women. (The Advocate)
