To polish off LSU President William F. Tate IV’s successful bus tour around the state to promote the university’s Scholarship First Agenda, LSU announced a landmark partnership between the university and the largest ports in Louisiana to develop homegrown cybersecurity talent and technology for critical infrastructure. The partnership is a major win for LSU’s mission to secure Louisiana’s future through the Scholarship First Agenda, since these ports play a crucial role in securing food, energy, goods, and materials for our state and beyond. The agreement also provides opportunities for LSU’s faculty and students to solve ongoing and emerging cyber challenges.
