Congratulations to Katherine Shannon on graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Biology!

As one of our student workers, Katherine has been a valued part of the Construction Management department since her first week at LSU, making a lasting impact on our office and community.
“As a first-generation, out-of-state student, I never expected LSU to make as much of a lasting impact as it did. The Construction Management office has been a part of my undergraduate education since my first week at LSU. Every day gave me a new opportunity to explore campus and further my role in the Baton Rouge community.”

Katherine will continue her education through the CARE accelerated nursing program at LSU Health New Orleans and plans to graduate in May 2028 with a Bachelor of Nursing, her second degree.

Congratulations, Katherine! We are so proud of you and excited to see all you accomplish in this next chapter.
