About

Why Your Support Matters

At the LSU College of the Coast & Environment, or CC&E, we're dedicated to building a healthier, more resilient future for Louisiana. By protecting our coast and preparing highly skilled graduates, we address real-world environmental challenges that affect our communities every day.

Your support plays a vital role by fueling groundbreaking research, enabling hands-on learning experiences, and helping bridge essential funding gaps to keep our programs thriving. Most importantly, your gift inspires and equips the next generation of environmental leaders. Together, we can safeguard Louisiana’s unique landscapes and empower students to create innovative solutions for a sustainable tomorrow.

This LSU Giving Day, your gift will strengthen the winning teams that drive College of the Coast & Environment to do what LSU does best: empower Tigers to lead, learn, and make a difference. Thank you for your support!

Impact Areas

Your generosity on LSU Giving Day impacts the following priority initiatives:

1. College of the Coast and Environment Student Scholarship Fund
CC&E’s success starts with you! Thanks to your generosity on Giving Day, three students received scholarships last year. With our new Coastal Meteorology undergraduate program, we’re aiming higher. This year, we hope you’ll help us award four scholarships: two for graduate students (one per department) and two for undergraduates (one per program). Your support opens doors for our students!

2. CC&E Development Fund
Thanks to Giving Day 2025 donors, first-year students explored Louisiana’s coast and saw our environmental challenges firsthand — many for the first time. Your support helps us create more impactful experiences, empowering students and faculty to tackle coastal issues. Together, we build teams that win in Louisiana, for the world.

3. CC&E Research
CC&E is dedicated to hands-on learning, but with only one microbalance for over 20 students, long waits cut into valuable lab time. Supporting the purchase of a second microbalance will reduce wait time and create more efficient lab sessions. Your contribution makes a direct and immediate difference in empowering LSU students, enhancing scientific discovery and shaping tomorrow’s leaders. Invest in their potential and help us create a better learning experience.
