Student Achievements

Two LSU students recently named to the 2025 class of Astronaut Scholars say this lofty achievement would not have been possible without the support and opportunities provided by LSU.

Each spring since 2003, LSU has honored 12 outstanding seniors who contribute positively to the life of the campus, the surrounding community, and/or society. These 12 individuals are recognized as the Tiger Twelve. Meet the Class of 2025.

LSU student Gerard Lorio is passionate about his research and persistent in his pursuit of a medical career. Those efforts have culminated in his selection as a Goldwater Scholar, a prestigious honor reserved for only an elite few nationwide.
