By engaging these alumni with the LSU faculty and student community, the opportunities to network and learn from one another are strengthened.

Now, years later, three of Stirling Properties four partners all graduated from LSU – Gerald Songy, Grady Brame, and Lewis Stirling. Each credits their business success to the academic fundamentals learned at LSU.
