The event took place March 12 at The Club at Union Square in Baton Rouge.
“Two important components of student retention are the opportunities to reward students for their academic achievements and to recognize outstanding teaching in the classroom,” said Paul Ivey, executive director of LSU University College.
“University College is pleased to have generous donors that allow us to offer scholarships to students who have demonstrated a commitment to their college studies.
“Our ‘Celebration of Excellence’ ceremony allows us the opportunity to publicly recognize these young scholars.”
