 | Welcome from the Dean of Students
LSU students are members of a strong, vibrant and diverse community in which there are numerous opportunities for involvement. With approximately 300 registered student organizations, most students can find at least one that suits their interests, but if not, our staff will assist students who wish to establish a new organization.
Meaningful involvement in college fosters the development of life-long skills that are transferable to a variety of situations. The interpersonal skills and leadership skills that one develops through co-curricular involvement is truly invaluable and provides an essential complement to the academic experience. | |

Consistent with our Commitment to Community, LSU students are expected to "accept responsibility for [their] actions…, respect the dignity of all persons…, respect the environment and the rights and property of others and the University" and embrace the "highest standards of academic, personal, and social integrity." To promote these principles, at the end of the spring semester The Dean's Dozen recognizes 12 outstanding seniors who "contribute positively to the life of the campus and surrounding community." Students may also obtain a complimentary Commitment to Community poster from our office in Johnston Hall.
The Office of the Dean of Students also promotes the University's commitment to academic integrity. Students are strongly encouraged to read Understanding and Avoiding Plagiarism on the Judicial Affairs web page. This publication provides examples of proper and improper paraphrasing and information regarding proper source citation.
In addition to facilitating student development and responsibility, our staff members serve as advocates for student interests. We value our diverse student population and strive to provide a variety of services, programs and opportunities that meet students' needs. Let us know how we can help you!
