Employers want job-ready graduates, but students need real-world practice to get there. Internships can be the key to building that experience, but without proper guidance, they can feel out of reach. That’s where LSU steps in. Through the Olinde Career Center, LSU connects students to thousands of internship opportunities and delivers the tools, support, and hands-on resources they need to compete and succeed.

Each year, the Rucks International Scholars Award (RISA) provides funding for LSU management majors to study abroad. These programs aid students in advancing their career readiness and enrich their undergraduate experience. The 2024-25 RISA winners share key moments from their life-changing journeys.

Have you noticed fewer brick-and-mortar banks in your neighborhood recently? Following decades of consistent growth, the number of bank branches in the U.S. began declining in 2010. A new working paper with the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) by Rajesh Narayanan, professor in the LSU Department of Finance, suggests this trend is due to technology making customers more powerful and less loyal, dramatically impacting profits.
