We volunteer our time via outreach and service events on campus and in the surrounding local community. Throughout the year, LSU Ambassadors continued to fulfill its mission of service, leadership, and student development through a wide range of impactful initiatives. The organization began the fall semester with an Ambassador Retreat, designed to strengthen morale and foster unity among members. Under the guidance of the Overall Chair, general body meetings were transformed from obligatory gatherings into dynamic spaces where members could connect, engage, and build meaningful relationships. Membership development remained a core focus. LSU Ambassadors welcomed 61 new members through a rigorous selection process that included group collaboration and individual interviews. These Associate Ambassadors participated in structured training sessions to prepare them for their roles as official university representatives. Signature events such as the Associate Mixer, Yellow Polo Ceremony, and Big Buddy/Little Buddy Program helped instill pride, spirit, and a strong sense of community among new and returning members. Leadership development was prioritized through a dedicated Leadership Development Week, which featured a headshot and LinkedIn career workshop, financial seminar, and a teamwork activity. These events were designed to enhance members' leadership competencies and professional readiness. Additionally, the organization hosted a campus-wide encouragement initiative, "Donut Give Up on Yourself Day," where members distributed donuts and motivational notes in Free Speech Alley to uplift students during the fall semester. Service and outreach efforts were robust, with members participating in 73 service events throughout the year. LSU Ambassadors partnered with local and national organizations including Companion Animal Alliance, Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank, Habitat for Humanity, Sunshine Club Garden, Recreation and Parks Commission for the Parish of East Baton Rouge, Family Youth Services, Walls Project, Adopt a Road Clean Up, and Miracle Leagues. Members also supported major LSU events such as Family Weekend, Sixth Grade Day, Fall Fest, Geaux Big Baton Rouge, Involvement Fest, and Kickoff LSU, contributing to the success and vibrancy of campus life. The Accountability Team expanded its role to provide holistic support for members. The team organized study nights to promote academic success. Accountability also offered resources for mental health and wellness, reinforcing a safe and supportive environment for student leaders. This approach emphasized that accountability within the organization is not solely disciplinary, but also developmental and community-oriented. As for fundraising efforts, LSU Ambassadors partnered with Raising Cane's, Chipotle, Jeremiah's Italian Ice, and Andy's for giveback nights and with Aramark to staff concessions at one LSU basketball game. These initiatives generated funds that were used with semesterly membership dues to enhance and increase our programming. Beyond supporting our members, the funds raised also enabled us to make a meaningful impact on the LSU community by enhancing service events, expanding campus engagement initiatives, and creating morale-boosting programming that fostered connection and school spirit. Social cohesion and organizational culture were strengthened through events such as the Spring Semi-Formal, Lip Sync Battle, AMX, and the end-of-year banquet. These gatherings celebrated member achievements and fostered camaraderie. The organization also maintained active communication through newsletters and social media platforms, ensuring transparency and engagement across its diverse membership. Through these efforts, LSU Ambassadors remained a vibrant, inclusive, and service-oriented community dedicated to representing Louisiana State University with excellence. 0 0 0 Nicole Carter Overall Chair 25-26 5 0 0 0 Morgan Shouse Associate Overall Chair 25-26 5 0 0 0 Colbie Seals Administrative Chair 5 0 0 0 Solana Fraizer Administrative Chair 26-27 5 0 0 0 Kennedy McNeil Overall Chair 26-27 5 0 0 0 Amaya Redcloud Associate Overall Chair 26-27 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 LA Solana Fraizer 479 LSU Student Union Baton Rouge LA 70803 4804041782 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 13799 10310 24109 5361 2200 7561 0 0 0 19160 12510 31670 31670 0 0 0 19160 12510 31670 X Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Throughout the year, LSU Ambassadors continued to fulfill its mission of service, leadership, and student development through a wide range of impactful initiatives.
