LSU Athletics Participates in Spring Greening

BATON ROUGE – LSU had 49 of its student-athletes along with several staff members of the Cox Communications Academic Center for Student-Athletes participate in the campus’ third-annual Spring Greening Day.

Volunteers planted flowers outside of Pleasant Hall and spread mulch under the oak trees that outline the Parade Ground.

“This is the third year our student-athletes have gotten involved in this project and made it a priority,” ACSA Assistant Director for Diversity, Inclusion and Civic Engagement, Jade Bryan said. “It’s a great time to see athletes from different teams working together on the same event. Spring Greening is a perfect opportunity for our student-athletes to give back to the community that supports them on a continual basis.”

“I really love the LSU campus; it’s what drew me here,” Mikayda Mills of LSU’s swimming and diving program said. “Helping to give back and being reminded that I contributed to the greening effort is important.”

The event is co-sponsored by the Office of Landscape Services and the Division of Student Life and Enrollment’s Campus Life office in support of the Green Tiger Project. This movement is led by Jan Martin, wife of LSU Chancellor Michael Martin.

The Campus Beautification Fund allows LSU alumni, friends and fans to make gifts to help with campus enhancement efforts through the LSU Foundation. The Albemarle Foundation is a sponsoring organization for this event.
