Be a Teacher
“Improving Quality of Life Across the Lifespan.” It’s what teachers do.
Photo of the original LSU School of Education threshold.
From 1940-1964, the graduates of the then-named LSU College of Education would step over a wooden threshold in George Peabody Hall before entering the profession. When Peabody Hall was renovated in the 80s, the threshold was saved and a gold plate was engraved with the number of graduates from our college and placed on the threshold.
CHSE’s Lutrill & Pearl Payne School of Education Pinning Ceremony was created in order to celebrate each and every one of our School of Education graduates and future teachers. This day also signifies us living up to our flagship mission and purpose.
It is often said that LSU is the flagship for the state of Louisiana – but what does that actually mean? Quite simply, it means that we have a duty to better the lives of citizens in every parish.
When our students cross the stage, they commit to a career to teaching. They are our flagship mission in action.
Changemakers
Today, teacher graduates attend their Pinning Ceremony in the Huey P. Long Field House. The building opened in 1932, with an intricate tiger mosaic inlaid in the foyer. The Latin phrase around the tiger translates to “A Sound Mind in a Sound Body” - a perfect parallel to our college mission to improve quality of life across the lifespan. Our teachers not only improve the quality of life of their students, they lift up entire communities.
CHSE has created a new threshold to bring back our years-old tradition. To receive their pins, our education graduates cross over this new threshold.
When crossing this threshold, graduates remember the thousands of Tiger teachers who came before them. It also symbolizes the POSITIVE IMPACT our students will have on GENERATIONS of Pre-kindergarten thought 12th grade students. Education is their stduents' way to mental health, physical health, and a prosperous life.
