2020 Gumbo Final - Book - Page 9
The 2019-2020 school year will hold a
different place in the heart of the LSU
community. With a record-breaking
season, our football team took home a
national championship, and our campus
also experienced a change in leadership,
with Tom Galligan taking over as interimpresident. A mere eight weeks later, the
lives of LSU students and people across
the world would be changed indefinitely.
The novel coronavirus sent our nation and
globe into a worldwide pandemic. Schools,
businesses, and events were all canceled
and transitioned into online formats. Social
distancing became a new normal
in our vocabulary. Our Gumbo staff felt a
big responsibility in detailing these events
accurately, as they will truly be a piece of our
history we have never seen before.
