Tiger Advocates is an organized group of Louisiana State University alumni, friends, fans, future alumni, faculty and staff (#LSUTIGERNATION) who are committed to communicating LSU’s goals to Louisiana legislators. Our mission is to be a collective voice for LSU to help ensure it is the best it can be – a top-ranked United States university that educates Louisiana’s future leaders, drives the state’s economic development, produces breakthroughs in scientific research and serves the people of our state.  

This site is designed to provide Tiger Advocates with the information and tools you need to support our university as we face proposed severe budget cuts that would impact the quality and future of LSU’s higher education programs.  Once you sign up, you will receive information on the legislative agenda and be asked to contact your specific Louisiana Representatives and Senators on behalf of LSU.
