LSU recognizes the responsibility and privilege of top universities to participate in furthering the diversity and inclusiveness of the academic cadre and the engineering workforce, and the College of Engineering is committed to taking the lead in the endeavor for diversity. Both the highly successful Minority Engineering Program (MEP) and the newly established Women in Engineering Program (WEP) are cornerstones of the College of Engineering's response to the challenge of preparing all LSU engineering graduates for success.
The College of Engineering at Louisiana State University enrollment of African-American students exceeds the national average at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. As comparative statistics demonstrate, LSU has achieved near parity with national averages of women enrolled in both undergraduate and graduate engineering programs.
These promising numbers are the result of LSU's ongoing efforts to meet and exceed nationwide standards for diversity. However, important strides remain to be taken toward creating an academic environment in the College of Engineering that fully reflects LSU's commitment to diversity and inclusion. Targeted philanthropy is the most effective way to accelerate progress on these fronts and establish LSU's College of Engineering as both a regional and national leader in diversity.
While we process gifts of all sizes, our focus is on making transformational change (non-endowed funding). Discover how gift opportunities, giving methods and industry partners benefit our students and faculty. We invite you to meet some of our donors as well as our development team. Thank you for your ongoing partnership and your commitment to Louisiana State Engineering. We hope you enjoy your online visit and look forward to seeing you on campus again soon.
