2022 LSU Gumbo - Book - Page 5
The events of the last few years—namely the COVID-19 pandemic—have seen
the world undergo drastic changes. LSU students were forced online for the better
part of that period, and during that time, the school lost a bit of its identity. Many
undergraduates didn’t know how to navigate campus, nor had they ever experienced
a Saturday night in Death Valley with 102,320 of their closest friends.
However, the 2021/22 school year was different. The 2021/22 school year represented
a return to normalcy for so many. Students returned to the beautiful campus on the
banks of the Mississippi in the heart of Baton Rouge and it sparked a movement.
They came back with a hunger to learn, a desire to socialize and a longing to be a
part of something bigger. LSU underwent a cultural Renaissance during this school
year. The contents within the 122nd edition of the Gumbo Yearbook portray these
unique tales through stories, photographs, interviews and so much more.
