The BWE-I Initiative at LSU aids in ensuring an environment where black women can thrive as students. A small team of students and staff advocate for their holistic well-being in this program with the assistance of campus partners, community members, students, faculty, and staff. We believe the BWE-I Initiative is where valued mentoring and developing young black women in their academic, professional, physical, social, identity, civic, and emotional well-being meet. We advocate for equity in resources and opportunities and strive to bring everyone in the LSU community to work towards the retention, matriculation, and graduation of our students. Everyone participating in the initiative must embrace the value of mentoring young women as they strive to reach their fullest potential while focusing on their academic, professional, physical, social, identity, civic, and emotional well-being.

The Black Women's Empowerment Initiative was established to promote, maintain, and advance the well-being of Black Women at LSU. Our purpose is to promote equity and community building by cultivating intentional spaces for Black Women to gather, developing workshops and programming around pertinent topics, and holding space together.   

We have an emphasis on developing female leaders with a drive and ambition who want to continue to uplift women in today's society. Each individual participating in the initiative should embrace the value of nurturing young women as they look toward brighter futures while focusing on the development of the social, emotional, educational, and physical needs of young minority women.

Our public performances range from informal workshop presentations, to performance showcases highlighting classroom work, to multi-media installations, to fully staged scripts written or adapted by the performer or director, to academic and professional artists/scholars in residence.

The Division of Student Affairs is committed to ensuring that the 153 hours students spend outside the classroom each week are preparing them for success and achievement when they are inside the classroom.

Our Priorities:

ÔùÅ Quality. As a student-serving team, we believe LSU students deserve our best effort…every day. Every program, service, event, and experience is designed with their needs in mind and every interaction we have with them communicates a high degree of care, relevance, polish, and attention to detail. We won't always be perfect, but we are committed to serving our students better next year than we did this year.

ÔùÅMattering & belonging. In addition to meeting immediate student needs by providing excellent customer service, all our spaces and individual interactions should contribute to a sense of mattering and belonging for our students. We want to surround them with reminders that LSU is their home and that we value their contributions to our campus community.

ÔùÅ Inclusion & access. As our student body begins to more closely resemble our state, we have a tremendous opportunity to positively affect the trajectory of individual lives and whole communities. It is vital that our programs, services, events, and experiences are designed with everyone in mind. And while not every single thing we do will be in service to or of interest to every student, it is our responsibility to ensure that the way we do our work does not result in barriers to access for anyone.

Mission
Volunteer LSU is a university initiative led by Campus Life that provides curated service opportunities for LSU students. We evaluate options that build partnerships within the community, instill a lifelong commitment to service for student participants, and then offer those to the LSU community.

History of the Initiative
Following the impact of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005, LSU students felt compelled to respond to the needs of the affected communities. These efforts led to the formation of the student group, Volunteer LSU, to promote and coordinate volunteer opportunities. While the group operated successfully as a student organization for many years, the effort reverted to a campus-driven initiative to have an even greater reach and impact.
