In her short time at LSU, Librarian Nicollette Davis has made an indelible mark on LSU Libraries and the library world writ large. This year, she was named a 2024 Mover & Shaker by Library Journal for her dedication to equal opportunity initiatives. Library Journal is a premier American trade publication for librarians that was founded in 1876. It has awarded more than 20,000 recipients since the award's inception in 2002. Davis is one of 50 in her cohort and brings a wealth of experience and a passion for fostering a more inclusive environment within the library community. LSU is now accepting students for a new Bachelor of Music Therapy degree program, the first of its kind at a public university in Louisiana, the LSU College of Music & Dramatic Arts announced last Wednesday. As a Keep Louisiana Beautiful Affiliate, LSU will be participating in a litter cleanup event in celebration of Love the Boot Week. Love the Boot Week is Louisiana's largest cleanup and beautification event, hosted by Keep Louisiana Beautiful and held in conjunction with Earth Day activities across the planet. Card Display
